Kaduna APC guber aspirant dumps party

- From Saxone Akhaine, Kaduna

PMuhammadu Buhari’s in- law and All Progressiv­es Congress ( APC) governorsh­ip aspirant in Kaduna State, Sani Sha’aban, has dumped the ruling party.

In a letter to the APC chairman, Hanwa Ward, Sabon Garin Local Council, and read by the Director General of Sha’aban Sani Campaign Organisati­on, Joshua Ephraim, yesterday, Sha’aban said he decided to leave the party because some elements hijacked the party structure in the state and turned it into their personal estate.

He wrote: “They have no regard for the feelings, yearnings and sensibilit­ies of even the members of the party who supported them and the general populace of Kaduna.

“On good governance, we are treated with disdain and seen as a pariah to those who personally benefit from the skewed realities presently in the party. My many admonition­s, advice, protests and best efforts at salvaging the party to bring it back into focus to achieve its set objectives have been ignored by you.”

Pointing out that there is a limit to what he can do as a party member, he believes he had, in all conscience, done his best to stave off the inevitable, to no avail.
