A group, Concerned Indigenes of Kaduna Central Senatorial
District, has launched a move to recall Mr. Shehu Sani, the senator
representing the district at the Senate. The plan to recall the
senator was announced in a statement signed on behalf of the group
by Mr. Aliyu Saidu Rigachikun, who claimed to have been the Deputy
Director-General of Mr. Sani’s senatorial campaign in 2015.
According to the group, Mr. Sani was previously a politician
with no significance and had failed twice to become a senator until
he rode on the popularity of President Muhammadu Buhari, then a
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to get to the
Senate. Concerned Indigenes of Kaduna Central Senatorial District
stated that since he won the election, Mr. Sani has continuously
bitten the fingers that fed him.
“His first assignment as a senator was to ridicule the
President’s wife during the inauguration and he would later
conspire against the President and the party during the National
Assembly leadership elections. In doing so, he became a prominent
figure in a Senate that is committed to undermining every honest
effort of the Buhari administration, against the will of his
constituents,” the group said.
It explained that those familiar with Mr. Sani were not
surprised by his conduct, as he has built a reputation of using
deceit and subterfuge cloaked in human rights activism.
The group claimed that instead of investing his legislative
resources and privileges to deepen the legislative process and
uplifting the conditions of his constituents, he has become the
leader of President Buhari’s enemies. He is accused of always
amplifying the challenges being faced by the Buhari administration
while ignoring the progress it has recorded so as to portray the
government as incompetent and clueless.
“We in Kaduna Central would understand if Senator Shehu Sani
restricts his diatribe to Governor El-Rufai, considering the
senator’s blind antagonism towards his state governor. The governor
has so far responded to Senator Shehu Sani’s insults with stoic
silence. He has never allowed himself to be distracted, as he has
put Kaduna State firmly on the path to sustainable progress and
long-term prosperity. By working against the President and
identifying with the enemies of the Buhari administration, Senator
Shehu Sani has not only betrayed his constituents, he has declared
war on them. We the people of Kaduna Central unanimously support
President Buhari. We sent Senator Shehu Sani to the Senate to work
towards the success of the Buhari government, not work in direct
opposition to it,” stated the Concerned Indigenes of Kaduna Central
Senatorial District.
It argued that Mr. Sani’s conduct and performance so far are at
variance with the yearnings and aspirations of constituents, who
have nothing to show for his representation other than social media
posts insulting the President and cheering his enemies.
“By his actions, the rogue senator has caused more damage to the
President and our great party and his actions have harmed our
collective interest as a senatorial district. It is regrettable
that the party has failed to call Senator Shehu Sani to order for
his open belligerence against the government and our great party.
No individual no matter how highly positioned is above the party.
We, therefore, call on the party to initiate disciplinary action
against the rogue senator because allowing this madness to go
unpunished will only embolden other rebels We, the people of Kaduna
Central, cannot afford to wait till 2019. We are ready to correct
this anomaly through recall. We hereby inform the world that we
shall be exercising our available constitutional options by
initiating a recall process against Senator Shehu Sani,” said the
group.
It expressed the view that the move will send a strong message
that the people of Kaduna Central will never again entrust their
destiny in the hands of any representative, who will ignore their
needs in order to appease to a political godfather elsewhere. It
branded Mr. Sani as a supporter of the corrupt cabal holding the
country to ransom.
