Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central senatorial district has joined the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), three days after he left the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sani made this known in a statement by his Special Adviser, Political and Ideology, Suleiman Ahmed, in Abuja on Tuesday.
The statement 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.”
Confirming the development to the News Agency of Nigeria in an interview, the Kaduna State Chairman of the party, Dr Tom Maiyashi, 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.”
A former member of the Alliance for Democracy and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Sani resigned from the APC on Sunday after failing to get the party’s ticket to seek re-election to the Senate.
