Kaduna State, to initiate the recall of Shehu Sani, Senator representing
Kaduna Central Senatorial District.
In a letter addressed to the president, which was dated October 2, 2018,
el-Rufai had claimed that Buhari had asked him to initiate a recall
process for Sani to “punish his repeated act of contempt and disloyalty”.
However, the president through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, has denied
issuing such a directive.
A statement by Garba Shehu on Sunday, read: “The presidency wishes to
distance President Muhammadu Buhari from a letter currently in
circulation, which alleges that the President had authorized a Governor or
anyone else for that matter to ‘deal with traitors and disloyal members of
APC, especially Senator Shehu Sani’.
“We wish to confirm that the President is not aware of any such letter,
let alone authorising anyone to deal with any party member.
“Given President Buhari’s record, it is inconceivable that he would usurp
the role of the party leaders and instruct anyone to punish a party
member.
“In the light of above, we would like to appeal to the general public,
especially members of the press, to ignore false or unauthorized
information intended to attribute to the President any action which is not
in line with his character.”
