A very vocal senator from the north-west is demanding a prepayment of at least N100 million before he would defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), TheCable has learnt.

The PDP leadership laughed off his request and this is thought to have stalled his movement to the opposition party on Tuesday.

Senate President announced the defection of 15 APC senators, although some have since retraced their steps in the ongoing drama at the national assembly.

The northern senator’s fate currently remains uncertain, with strong calculations that he might not be re-elected whether or not he defects to the PDP.

“We were shocked when he made the demand because his public posturing is that of a principled Nigerian,” a southern senator told TheCable.

There are no suggestions that lawmakers who defected to PDP last week were financially induced.

However, President Muhammadu Buhari has attributed the movements to “local politics” and his supporters are hopeful that his chances of re-election in 2019 are not adversely affected.

Who can this Northern Senator be?

Nigeria it's doomed.
With the kind of selfish politicians we have, reasonable person can only but get his VISA ready.

When u see them smiling on posters, you can even decipher their ulterior motives without stress.

Sen. sani Shehu

Lemme spread mat..

Atiku is slacking , he should have paid, cos we all know Sheu Sani would have been a feather in the defection cap & given it traction... Did PDP pipo sef... Stingy Koko.

Shehu Sanni.... This man deserves all he gets...for speaking with both sides of the mouth.

It has always being about their personal interests...

Politics is all about money in Nigeria. So why are they pretending as if they are better.

Activist are not always principled and honest as people think. The employment in the activism industry is cos they can't work well with people.

It has always been about their personal interest

Prostitutes so na money dey carry them up and down.... shiooooooooooooor

Hahaha, you people were so in love with shehu sani because he attacked El rufai and buhari.

Those in kaduna knew it was all for himself and not for the people.

Gullible people.

Joe okei odumakin denying that vote buying happened in Ekiti State Governorship polls on video confirms your statement

Hmm.

Al these party movement is kinda irrelevant to me....especially those from the north

100M*10=

Jesu....

mi tu wan decamp i no nid much
jxt 5m

I think this is targeted at shehu sani but it looks like propaganda to me. From which side I dunno

I guess PDP are trying to explain to us all why they failed to get a simple majority in the Senate.

The dumb newspaper are trying to make reference to Shehu Sani but they've forgotten that he's the same person who exposed the earnings of Senators to Nigerians.

The truth is this: the defection of these Senators and Reps to the PDP has increased the worth of those still in the APC. Those still in the APC are would be courted by the ruling party to prevent them decamping. They will start making demands from the APC and the APC would oblige them.

Those demands have started rolling in, Gbajabiamila tabled some of them to Oshiomhole just yesterday.

Scandalous. But this is politics. Anything can happen and anything can be the matter. I would have suggested that the identity of the senator be made public so they can react to this open accusation other than these speculations.

Shehu Sani, is it?

This your MTN scam of your thing no dey tire u?

Shehu only u.
Buhari gave u1000m for whistleblowing, u want100m to decamp.
Na only u waka come?

Who did you offend . See as they are firing only u from all angles.
It might be true. Carry ur cross alone pls. U all are the same
