Breaking: Comrade Shehu Sani Joins APC Alongside Top Political Figures
By Faisal A Harande
Kaduna, Nigeria – In a major political realignment, former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Sani, previously a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the switch during a grand ceremony at Murtala Square, Kaduna, in the presence of thousands of enthusiastic APC supporters.
The high-profile defection was orchestrated by Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, who welcomed Sani and 49 other notable politicians from opposition parties into the APC fold. The governor assured them of equal status within the party, emphasizing inclusivity and unity in governance.
A Political Shift with Widespread Implications
Shehu Sani’s move to the APC signals a strategic shift in Kaduna’s political landscape, potentially altering the balance of power ahead of future elections. Sani, known for his outspoken stance on governance and democracy, now aligns with the ruling party, a decision expected to impact political discourse in the region.
Governor Uba Sani, while addressing the gathering, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to delivering developmental projects across Kaduna State without bias toward political, ethnic, or religious affiliations. He urged the new APC members to work collectively in advancing the party’s mission for progress and transformation.
Notable Political Heavyweights Among the Defectors
Shehu Sani was not the only prominent figure to embrace the APC. Several influential politicians also joined the ruling party, including:
- Muktar Ramalan Yero Former Governor of Kaduna State
- Suleiman Hunkuyi Former Senator
- Danjuma Laah Former Senator
- Abubakar Mustapha Former PDP National Organizing Secretary
- Ambassador Sule Buba Nigeria’s Former Envoy to South Korea
The Road Ahead: What This Means for Kaduna Politics
With such a significant influx of political heavyweights, the APC in Kaduna is poised to consolidate its grip on power, potentially reshaping the dynamics of future elections. Analysts suggest that this defection could weaken the PDP’s influence in the state, making the ruling party even more dominant.
As political maneuvering continues, all eyes will be on Shehu Sani and his new allies to see how their roles within the APC unfold. Will they drive significant reforms, or will internal party politics take precedence? One thing is clear Kaduna’s political landscape is evolving rapidly, and the stakes have never been higher.
