Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central, on Thursday paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in
Daura, Katsina state.
Speaking with journalists after a
closed-door meeting with Buhari, Sani said he visited the president’s country home
to pledge his support for his re-election bid.
The lawmaker said they spoke
about the need for the party to be united.
“I am also here to fully assure
him of the support of my constituency, Kaduna central, to his aspiration for
the second term,” he said.
“I’m also here to assure him 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.”
Sani said his decision to remain
in the All Progressives Congress (APC) was because of the intervention of
Buhari and the national leadership of the party.
“Well, there is no human being
without any grievances but when national interest is put at the front side you
have to put aside other parochial interests,” he said.
“What we need to do as
politicians and as people representing those who elected us is to always put
the country first and know very well that we have both constitutional and moral
duty to work to the progress of Nigeria and of this government.
“So, I think these are the basic
issues which we discussed, grievances are natural but we have to know that we
have a country that we need to keep and also we have a country that we need to
support, so that it can progress. I think 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.
“And as far as we are concerned,
what matters most to us is not simply about automatic ticket but about the
peaceful and transparent conduct of the 2019 election and also the very need
for us as a people and as a nation to know that the fate of the country is on
our hands.”
