The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, on Tuesday joined People’s Redemption Party (PRP), three days after he left the All Progressives Congress.

Sani made this known in a statement by his Special Adviser, Political and Ideology, Mr Suleiman Ahmed, in Abuja.

His Special Adviser said that;

“It has become impossible for the senator to continue to co-habit with reactionaries and their perfidious and inimical style of politics.

“Sen. Sani maintains the highest respect and honour for President Muhammadu Buhari. However, we prefer to live in a Cottage of Honour than a mansion of shame.

“Sen. Shehu Sani has returned to the PRP. PRP represents our socialist revolutionary ideology.

“Sen. Sani is now free from the toxicity and infamy APC existentially represents.

“We left the APC for the emperors and their lackeys.”

The Kaduna State Chairman of the party, Dr Tom Maiyashi, who confirmed the reports to newsmen said the lawmaker is now a member of the party.

Maiyashi said the lawmaker had been duly registered and offered membership card of the party.

He stressed that “Sen. Shehu Sani has registered with the party and his ward is Kaduna South.’’

WuzupNaija reports that  Sani on Sunday resigned from the APC.

Recall that Uba Sani, Special Adviser to El-rufai on Political Matters, was declared winner of the primary election conducted in Kaduna on Oct. 6 for the Kaduna Central Senatorial ticket, by Chairman Primary Election Committee, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen.

Sen. Shehu Sani, however, did not participate in the election because he had been offered automatic ticket by the national body of the party.

Following the election, Sen. Sani, in a statement by his Special Assistant Media, Abdulsamad Amadi, said the process was ‘illegal’.

The lawmaker had been having running battle with Gov. El-rufai, on the latest development and his defection may not be unconnected to it.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had given political parties Oct. 18 as deadline for submission of candidates’ lists for the National Assembly and state houses of assembly elections.
