APC Lifts Shehu Sani’s ‘Suspension’, Applauds Him For Staying

The National leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lifted the announced suspension on Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani.

The decision was communicated in a statement by Yekini Nabena, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party in Sunday.

The statement also praised the Senator for ignoring calls to dump the party as Sani had earlier said he would remain in the party following the intervention of the party leaders.

“The National Secretariat has received the news of the suspension of Senator Shehu Sani by the Tudun Wada ward Chairman and wish to clarify that the purported suspension of Distinguished Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District is hereby lifted and (he) is confirmed as a bonafide Member and leader of our party,” the statement read.

“The Chairman Kaduna State Chapter has been directed to inform the relevant Ward and Local Government chapters appropriately, and also put the necessary mechanism towards complementing the efforts of the national leadership towards ensuring lasting peace and unity in the party.

“It will be recalled that Senator Sani had shunned the idea of defecting to the PDP like other APC National Assembly members following the peace moves initiated by the National chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.”
