We’re waiting for Tinubu — Shehu Sani

The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said contending parties are waiting for the outcome of the reconciliatory moves by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Senator Sani said this at the weekend in Abuja after a meeting with the Engr. Segun Oni-led fact finding committee on Kaduna State APC crisis.

The lawmaker, who noted that the previous two panels led by Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir and Governor Aminu Masari failed to achieve reconciliation in Kaduna State, said all the stakeholders hoped that Tinubu would deploy his skills to “mend the crisis.”

Senator Sani, who said that he was invited by the Engr. Oniled committee to the party’s secretariat, stated that his faction of the APC was ready for all options presented by Governor Nasir el-Rufai.

He said, “The crisis in the APC has been lingering for a very long time and it has been left to reach such a crescendo whereby the broom automatically transformed to a matchet.

“Our position is this, that if the Governor of Kaduna State is for peace, we are for peace. If he’s for war, we are also for war and a bigger war,” he said.

Senator Sani, however, said party members could consider the option of leaving the APC if the crisis lingered despite all peaceful moves.

“And as far as I am concerned, everyone has plan B. Even for me, I have plan B, Plan C and Plan D. So, If anybody feels he can enslave me, if anybody thinks he can dictate to me, if anyone feels that this party belongs to him and doesn’t belong to me and I am not needed in the party, there is no way I can continue to remain in the party. After all, it is a free world,” he added.

The lawmaker noted that President Muhammadu Buhari remained the glue that held the APC together, saying “if we don’t have Buhari in the APC, suddenly, everyone will find way to his home.”

Sani added, “So, as he (Buhari) remains the glue, he must also be up and doing in addressing these crises. And part of the problems we are having here is the philosophy of being for everybody and for nobody, it led the party to nowhere,” he said.
