The senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani has revealed that some prominent members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State will soon quit the party.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, Senator Sani blamed the administration of the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai for alienating and victimizing other leaders of the APC in the state.
He berated the former APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and the presidency for failing to call the governor to order, regretting that the election of the new National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole came too late.
“I wish Adams has come earlier because like I said, these grenades that were laid by the former chairman will explode in a matter of days. It is also very clear to us that even President Muhammadu Buhari is incapable of tackling the menace of the governor of Kaduna state.
“How can a governor openly call for violence against senators and not a statement came from the seat of power cautioning such a governor?
“How can a governor move bulldozers and demolish a house of a fellow party member, the one who helped him to be where he is and there is not even a statement from the presidency?
“The governor uses the machinery of the state to emasculate political opponents . He even framed me for murder and there was no statement that came from the presidency to caution such a governor.
“Virtually, Kaduna state under Governor El -Rufai does not create conducive environment for any of us to remain in that party,” Sani said.
He continued: “There were three attempts to resolve the Kaduna APC crisis; there was the Inuwa Abdulkadir committee which was never respected by the governor, there was the Governor Masari – led committee which was also not respected and there as you can see, Tinubu ’s attempt to reconcile members of the party was simply neutralized and abandoned . So we are not slaves to continue to be in that party.”
