The Kaduna state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central, of attempting to “rubbish” President Muhammadu Buhari in the past, saying he is only pretending to love the president.
The party dismissed the allegation of Sani that Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state, was eyeing Buhari’s seat, saying the governor is “loyal to the APC and the great work that President Buhari is doing”.
APC urged Nigerians to disregard the “irresponsible utterances” of Sani, saying actions similar to that led to the suspension of the lawmaker.
“This is a man who seems unable to believe his good fortune at riding on the Buhari wave to become a senator,” Salisu Wusono, state publicity secretary of the APC, said in a statement.

“He hardly waited to arrive in Abuja before enlisting as an agent of the forces who began to plot for 2019 before they were even sworn in following the 2015 elections.
“Sani tried to rubbish President Muhammadu Buhari by describing the anti-corruption crusade as political… now pretending to love Buhari by needlessly attacking Kaduna state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai on behalf of those funding his immature politics.
“Sani’s masters, who defied the APC for their selfish ends, know that Nigerians are aware of those whose 2019 calculations made them impervious to reason and party discipline.

“The APC Kaduna state is proud of the vigorous and disciplined way Malam Nasir El-Rufai is governing Kaduna state in line with the manifesto of the APC.
“In education, health, agriculture and general governance reforms, El-Rufai is making strides. He has demonstrated an exemplary focus on the responsibility the people of Kaduna state has given him. His loyalty to the APC and the great work that President Buhari is doing is visible for all.”
