Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central at the National Assembly on the platform of the APC has threatened to slam a law suit on his own party. He threatened to engage the APC in a legal tussle for allegedly peddling false allegations against his person.
The party had in a letter addressed to him requested that the senator present himself before a disciplinary panel over suspected anti-party activities.
“If in the next one week, the party excos in the state fail to withdraw a letter sent to him on the allegation that he was involved in anti party activities, he will take a legal action against the party.”
Shehu Sani who did not take lightly the summon has retorted in a news briefing where he was represented by his senior legislative aide and his campaign director general, Rabiu Khaleed.
The senator has been in a constant tussle with APC leader in Kaduna state, Governor Nasir El-Rufai and has embraced every opportunity to criticize the governor judiciously.
Sani said he does not regard the leadership of the party in the state, claiming that they are being sponsored by the state government to soil his reputation.
“This is our stand. We will not honour an invitation by kangaroo executives in the state. APC executives are not in existence in the state. We are, therefore, urging them to withdraw the letter sent to us within a week or we will take legal action against them.
“Senator Shehu Sani will not honour their invitation because he doesn’t recognize them as state executives of the party. They are only claiming to be APC members but we know they are only doing a bid for the state governor.
“Since our election, no party executive in the state deemed it fit to write to Senator Sani to inform him of any party activities despite being a party stakeholder. Therefore, he will not honour any invitation from anybody because there are no recognized party leaders in the state,” he said.
