2019: Shehu Sani Promises To Contest Under A New Party

With Nigerians still reflecting on the news that Shehu Sani resigned his membership from the ruling All Progressives Congress, the Senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, has assured his supporters that he will be contesting in the forthcoming election.

While assuring his supporters on his Facebook page, he revealed that he is not quitting politics and will announce his new political party on Tuesday.

He said, “This is to thank all my supporters and friends for the show of solidarity and assurances of support over my decision to exit the APC.

“I assure you that in the next two days you will be informed of my new party. And be rest assured I will contest in the upcoming elections Insha Allah.”

It still remains unclear the political party Sani wants to join to realize his political ambition.

Shehu Sani in the letter which was dated October 19 addressed the chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole, and did not give reasons for his action.

The letter read, “I present to you highest compliments and wish by this communication to formally offer to you my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I had joined the APC and remained with it against all odds with the belief that it will constitute a veritable platform for the realization of those democratic ideals which I hold very dear, that honour and integrity will be the ultimate ethos of the party and, most importantly, that internal party democracy will always be the norm. However, only posterity can affirm the extent to which the APC has committed to and reflected these values.

“As I exit the APC at this point in time, I wish to formally thank the party for availing me the platform upon which I am currently serving this country in the honoured capacity of Senator of the Federal Republic.

I wish the party well in all her future endeavours and ask, Sir, that you please accept the assurance of my highest considerations.“
