The\u00a0 All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State, has\u00a0 suspended the senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial zone, Shehu Sani, from the party.<\/p>\n
He was sanctioned for his consistent critic of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.<\/p>\n
The senator is a registered member of the party from the Tudun Wada\u00a0 ward.
\nIn a letter to the senator dated December 27, the party said the suspension is for a period of 11 months and\u00a0 banned from engaging in party activities in Kaduna State during the period of suspension.<\/p>\n
The letter was signed by the Secretary of the ward, Ahmed Abdulhamid, the Public Relations Officer, Auwal Mai Anguwa, and ex-officio member, Aminu Alilan.
\nThe party listed Mr. Sani\u2019s offences to include, uttering statements that allegedly \u201cviolate the rules of engagement of the party, factionalizing the party, and engaging in anti-party activities by criticizing the policies of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.\u201d
\n\u201cHardly a week passes by that his group will not be on air criticizing and challenging the enduring legacies of Mallam Nasir ElRufai, that his statement on national issues is not in conformity with that of the state government and government of Kaduna State,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
\nThe state chapter of the APC also said the senator had chosen to remain in constant confrontation with the government of Kaduna State.
\nWhen contacted, an aide of Mr. Sani, Suleiman Ahmed, said it was clear that those who wrote the letter were ignorant of the laws guiding the APC.
\nHe said they were out to stop the senator from voicing his views about what he considers the anti-people policies of Governor El-Rufai\u2019s administration.
\n\u201cThey are toeing the line of the state secretariat of the party,\u201d Mr. Ahmed said. \u201cSo our reaction is that those that wrote this letter are ignorant of the party\u2019s constitution and they are dancing to the tune of the state executive of the party and Governor Nasir El-Rufai.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
