Senator Hunkuyi have been used to get reasonable numbers in the senate by the PDP, and has been dumped. he should wake up to that reality, he is not going to get back to the senate, as Kaduna North is an APC stronghold.

We told him before, but he dont listen.

he can go back 2NASS or return 2APC

Hahhahaaha..... this has made my day.... when they were advised to stick to APC, they refused;they made fun of the APC as a party and dropped all manner of hate speeches here and there; and now due to influence and greed they defected... you laughed and made fun of the APC; when you were not given the opportunity to loot monies you defected.... Sen Hunkuyi who's having the last laugh now?........hahahahaha
