Thousands of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members loyal to Senator Shehu Sani have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna.
The defectors who came from the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State were at the 2023 APC Campaign Office at NEPA Roundabout, carrying posters of Senator San, welcoming him back to the APC.
They said they have persuaded Senator Sani to return to the ruling party and were convinced that he would officially defect to the APC soon.
A former Campaign Director, of Senator Sani in the PRP, Mr. Monday Jaji, said he has been struggling for Sani’s defection for over two years because of his track record of achievements while he served as Senator of Kaduna Central on the platform of APC.
Jaji said “When he was a Senator, Comrade Shehu Sani built seven hospitals across his constituency. He distributed over 200 transformers to communities, assisted the poor masses, and even bought a house for the destitute on Kano road.”
“Shehu Sani built a hospital in Chikun and built 3 in Igabi Local Government, Rigachikun, and Giwa Local Government,” he said.
While receiving the defectors, Kaduna State Chairman of the APC, Air Commodore Emmanuel Jekada (Rtd ) expressed happiness about the return of the defectors to the APC, saying that coming to the party will propel the APC and Kaduna State to greater heights.
Senator Shehu Sani who represented Kaduna Central in the upper chamber of the National Assembly from 2015 to 2019, was a PDP gubernatorial aspirant during the 2023 general election.
