Kaduna APC Crisis Regrettable – Ex-Reps Member

Nasir-El-Rufai-Shehu-SaniAn All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain in Kaduna State, Alhaji Sani Mohammed Shaaban, has decried the crisis currently rocking the party.
The Kaduna APC is currently torn between forces loyal to the state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai and the senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani.
The Senator Sani group over a week ago, announced the formation of a splinter group known as “APC Akida”, in response to the stranglehold of the governor on the party.
Reacting to the development Thursday in Kaduna, Shaaban, a former member of the House of Representatives and governorship candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), respectively, during the 2007 and 2011 general elections, said that he neither belonged to APC Akida or APC Government House faction.
The party stalwart expressed regrets that the APC in Kaduna was enmeshed in a crisis at a time the masses were hoping to reap the dividends of their hard earned victory in the state.
Shaaban said: “I have mutual relationship with many politicians in the state. Many of my acquaintances and associates, with whom we struggled together to win this election, are in both camps. Our hope is for this crisis to end.
“The two camps should take note that all those foot-soldiers fanning the embers of crisis are doing so out for what they are benefiting and we are now in the Holy month of Ramadan, which has placed emphasis on forgiveness, reconciliation and seeking God’s blessing. Hence, we should utilise this period wisely”.
