Mr Uba Sani, the Special Adviser to Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Political and Intergovernmental Affairs, has picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for Kaduna Central Senatorial District.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Sani polled 2,088 votes to defeat incumbent Sen. Shehu Sani, who got 15 votes, and three other aspirants.

Prof. Eddie Floyd-Igbo, the APC Coordinator for the Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, declared the results of the primaries held at Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Sports Multipurpose Hall, Kaduna, on Saturday.

But the APC National Working Committee (NWC) had earlier cleared Sen. Shehu Sani as the sole candidate in the race, which was resisted by the other aspirants and party loyalists in the state.

Meanwhile, Sani who is Chairman, Senate Committee on Domestic and Foreign Debts, had earlier announced his withdrawal from the primaries. In a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr Abdulsamad Amadi, Sani said the exercise was illegal.

“The Office of Senator Shehu Sani has not, and will not send anybody as their representative or agent to that illegality that some desperate people are organising. “This is because the national leadership of the APC has not scheduled any senatorial primaries in Kaduna Central today.

“Consequently, anybody that goes there does so at his or her own freewill and does not in any way represent the interest of Sen. Shehu Sani. “The Senator and his team are law abiding citizens and loyal party members who will always obey the directives of the National leadership of our great party,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, Floyd-Igbo announced that one of the aspirants Usman Ibrahim got 129 votes in the primaries. He also said Sen. Sani Saleh, who served Kaduna Central people in the Senate from 2011 to 2015 got 55 votes. Another contestant, Mr Shamsudeen Shehu, got six votes, while 45 votes were declared invalid.

He said 2,383 voters were accredited from seven local government areas of the zone for the primary election. Meanwhile, INEC has reminded all participants that it would only accept candidates forwarded to it by the national secretariats of the political parties.

The electoral body also gave the parties up till Oct. 7 to submit their candidates for the 2019 general elections. (NAN)

Revenge is a meal better served when cold... Shehu Sani shoot himself on the throat. He dug the grave of his political career.

I like seeing news like this.

This is what happens when you decide to be very smart by backstabbing your goons.

Like my people would say, Rain were fall for fowl backyard, go fall for goat own.

That Sani hasn't seen anything yet, he go sleep jail this time.

Atlast, sehu sani end his political career...Now no party can accommodate him or give him ticket.What a pity!

If Shehu Sani had any honor in him, he wouldn't seek to return to NASS with APC ticket. He should have decamped with his fellow turn-coats and test his popularity through PDP.

You were elected on APC platform, to support your state's quest for progress, the party's progress and the president's programs; instead of doing that, you turned yourself to the mouthpiece of the opposition and engaged in very destructive criticism.

ElRufai would be a useless governor if he didn't find a way to stop you.

Sani can go back to Saraki or IPOB and contest in Kwara or SE.

passingshot had said it all even though I don't agree with all his submission nonetheless I must express my displeasure towards shehu sani lack of political wisdom.


he's not as smart as he made us to believe in the chamber. Jonathan a mere technocrat treat fvck up of rebellion lawmakers, so he expect buhari a former military president to just be observing his disloyal criticism? you can't eat your cake and have it, nemesis won't even allow it


one could think he would be the first to decamp as his criticism was more vocal than the opposition

Shehu sani and mama taraba are snakes

If he is popular, he should form his own party like Tinubu did with ACN and Buhari did with CPC and contest.

This was expected. Sani should have left long ago

Sani was too slow to decide
He supposed to have seen this long time ago

I taut sani was a smart guy, he shud have defected long ago

Bwahahahaha

Nice one

Watching in 4K what Shehu Sani would do next.
