Senator Shehu Sani has called on the
National leadership of APC to act fast
otherwise what destroyed PDP and made
many of its members to defect to APC and
other parties may soon befall it. Sani said
this when he led a delegation of politicians
from Kaduna state to pay a visit to the
National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-
Oyegun, in Abuja yesterday. Sani met with
Oyegun over last Sunday’s incident where
himself and some APC politicians from
Kaduna
state were attacked by some hoodlums who
disrupted a press conference they were
holding in the Nigerian Union of Journalist
secretariat in Kaduna. Sani called for the
press conference to raise alarm over what
he described as the imposition of party
delegations from the state to the upcoming
National Convention of the party.
Speaking with newsmen after the meeting,
Sani said “They sat down in the palace of
their gods to write names and sent it down
here for us to accept; that can never
happen. This was the seed of the
destruction of the PDP, where individuals
considered themselves as gods and any
other person a slave; that will never happen
in Kaduna state. We are here to present our
case and to appeal to the instrument of the
leadership of this party to intervene in the
Kaduna issue before it becomes too late. We
are here to also state it to the party´s
national leadership that we are under siege
in Kaduna. The use of thugs and violence by
agents and close associates of the state
government is one thing we cannot tolerate.
If we continue on this part, where one
person feels he is a god, I think we are
simply repeating the very problem that
destroyed the party we ejected out of
power. We are here in the spirit of that, and
we hope that we will get the cooperation of
the national party´s leadership to come to
the rescue of the party in Kaduna before it is
too late”.
