- John Shiklam

A group tagged: ‘ Concerned Indigenes of Kaduna Central senatorial district,’ has threatened to initiate the recall of Senator Shehu Sani for criticisin­g President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Nasir el-Rufai.

Sani who represents the Kaduna central senatorial district in the National Assembly, belongs to the state faction of the ruling All Progressiv­es Congress (APC).

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Kaduna, the group said Sani’s virulent attacks on Buhari and el-Rufai was unbecoming.

Spokesman of the group, Aliyu Saidu, said instead of Sani to invest his legislativ­e resources towards uplifting the conditions of his constituen­ts, he has become “the foster boy of President Buhari’s enemies, always amplifying the challenges we are facing while ignoring the many progress the administra­tion is making in order to portray the government as incompeten­t and clueless.”.

“We hereby inform the world that we shall be exercising our available constituti­onal options by initiating a recall process against Sani,” the group declared.

Saidu also declared that the APC reconcilia­tion committee headed by Senator Bola Tinubu was a waste of time as elections are approachin­g.

“We cannot wait for any committee of reconcilia­tion, time is moving, by the report of the committee submits is ready, elections would have been around the corner,” he said.

The group condemned Sani’s alleged diatribe and antagonism towards el-Rufai, saying the governor had maintained “stoic silence, never allowing himself to be distracted.”
