Kaduna State Governor, Nasir
El-Rufai, has re-echoed his determination to replace the senator representing
Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani.
He spoke at the weekend just two
days after Sani paid Sallah homage to President Muhammadu Buhari at Daura,
Katsina State.
Sani had disclosed that they
deliberated on issues bordering on strengthening the All Progressives Congress,
APC, through resolution of all internal tissues.
He said: “I am also here to fully
assure him of the support of my constituency, Kaduna Central, to his aspiration
for the second term.
“I’m also here to assure him
(President Buhari) of my own wholehearted support to the success of his
administration and his return to office for the second term.
“Those were the basic issues that
we discussed with him and other issues that border on the need to strengthen
our party; the need to end all internal strife and also the need to put heads,
hearts and hands together for the success of his administration and also for
the success of the party”.
On his Kaduna Central Senatorial
ticket, the senator told journalists in Daura that, “the party had made it very
clear and known to each and every person that there will be reward for loyalty
but in every sense of the word due process of the party needs to be followed.”
But addressing party stakeholders
at Kaduna North Local Government Area, El-Rufai declared that he would only
listen to the senator if he secures $350million loan for Kaduna State.
“In politics, it is impossible to
hide your choice. Government officials have their choices but the government
does not have a candidate. Whoever you selected, is the choice of God”, Daily
Nigerian quoted him as saying.
“But as you all know, I have my
candidate here. You may recall that we voted for somebody named Shehu Sani in
the last election. When he went to Abuja and drank Abuja water, he started
misbehaving, abusing the president and this government and sabotaging the
party.
“For this, I personally asked Uba
Sani to contest against him. So Uba Sani is my candidate.
“As you all know, Shehu Sani is
among the senators who denied Kaduna State access to loan. Since he has shown
the people of Kaduna State this enmity, you must pay him back in his own coin
at the primary election.
“I therefore, seek your favour in
the primary election to support Uba Sani.
“We are surprised that Shehu Sani
has not left the party. We thought he would commit political apostasy like
others, but he remained in the party making efforts to correct his sins.
“We are waiting for him. As I
have said, we have no grouse about him but his character. If he repents, we
will listen to him. But if he refuses to secure that $350million loan for
Kaduna State, we will not listen to him.
“Those close to him should tell
him: wherever he goes (for lobbying), we will not listen to him if he did not
bring $350million to Kaduna”.
