The All Progressives Congress APC) on Wednesday described the Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, as uncouth, shameless and disgraceful. But in a swift reaction, Senator Sani said it is rather unfortunate that Governor Nasir el-Rufai has allowed himself to be deceived by his adviser, Mr. Uba Sani, whom he accused of using the office he occupies and the governor to pursue his personal ambitions and vendetta.

The party was responding to Sani’s reaction to the indefinite suspension slammed on him at the expiration of earlier 11-month suspension.

The acting publicity secretary of the party, Salisu Tanko Wusono, in a terse statement issued in Kaduna added that Sani represents the politics of fraud and deceit.

“As if determined to prove that he is beyond redemption, Shehu Sani penned a pathetic response to his continued suspension from our party. That testifies that he is a denizen of the gutter. Any one that harboured any doubt about the morass in his mind and the decadence of his conduct would now have those uncertainties wiped away. Crassness of language is a twin to crass of conduct.

The APC noted: “Shehu Sani’s outburst is a confirmation, that he has no sense of shame.

He is a man full of tantrums, a busker who simultaneously entertains and distresses people with his shameless antics. He has since lost focus and why he was elected to the senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the good people of Kaduna Central under the banner of the APC.

“He represents fraud, deceit in the name of Nigeria’s masses. We suspended him indefinitely following his various anti-party activities and utterances aimed at tearing the party into pieces.

“The masses of Kaduna Central have since unraveled his deceit. His heart and mind are in the PDP whose agent he has been in our party. We wonder when he would gather the courage to publicly move to the party he hobnobs with in private,” the statement said.

Senator Sani described the action as very painful and disheartening that funds that should be channeled into the development of the state are being used to sponsor miscreants to cause trouble in the society. While states like Sokoto and Boko Haram ravaged states like Borno and Yobe are commissioning mass housing projects, all our governor does is to paint roundabouts in Kaduna State.

At a press briefing, his Senior Special Adviser on Political matters and Ideology, Suleiman Ahmed said that, even with the purported suspension, Sen. Sani has been up and doing in the Senate, proposing and supporting bills that will bring succor to the people.

“On the other hand Governor El-Rufai has been busy wasting state funds on a useless fight against an individual, leaving the state in a state of despair and hopelessness.

“Our health sector is in decay, education has collapsed there is pervasive insecurity everywhere you go in the state,” he added.
