Nasir el-Rufai, governor of
Kaduna state, says President Muhammadu Buhari directed him to initiate the
recall of Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central district, over acts
of contempt and disloyalty.
The governor disclosed this in a
letter dated October 2 to the the president.
In the letter, he listed the
‘compendium’ of sins committed by Sani against him, the president and the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor said the senator
called the president’s three years tenure as a failure and also ridiculed his
medical trip to London.
El-Rufai said Sani through his
reckless actions made the senate deny Kaduna of $350m world Bank loan.
The letter read, “When your
excellency traveled to London in April 2018 for medical consultation, Shehu
Sani ridiculed it on Facebook as ‘Voyage to London, Season 3.
“In May 2018, he lamented what he
said was Buhari’ s three years of failure to protect human lives.
“In the same month, he wrote that
‘Baba should protect his testicle from any man who always bends down to greet
him.
“Your excellency will recall that
earlier this year, you directed me to initiate processes to recall Shehu Sani
from the senate to punish his repeated acts of contempt and disloyalty.
“Following your directive, our
team in Kaduna studied what was being done in Kogi state regarding the recall
of Dino Melaye and drew up a budget. Upon examination of the costs and
loopholes in the recall process as brutally exposed in Dino Melaye’s case, and
in recognition of the immense of preparations for the next elections, it was
decided that it may be more prudent to oust him at the ballot.
“The party executives in his ward
in Kaduna suspended him from APC in December 2015 for negative comments about
your excellency. It was later extended to indefinite suspension in 2016.”
El-Rufai said it is clear that the
APC does not need Sani but that the lawmaker needs the party.
He added that the senator opted
to leave the ruling party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but that the
arrangement suffered setback after he failed to secure APC ticket.
El-Rufai asked APC not to give a
man like Sani the opportunity to misbehave again.
