Kaduna state governor, Uba Sani, has said former governor, Ramalan Yero, Sen. Shehu Sani, among other prominent opposition politicians decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) due to his inclusive and people’s centred policies and programmes.
Addressing supporters at the mega rally held at Murtala Muhammed Square, Kaduna, at the weekend, governor Sani told the decampees that APC is one family.
Governor Sani has assured the 50 political stalwarts that defected to the APC that they will enjoy same rights and privileges like every other party member.
He said that there is no difference between a party member that joins today and the ones that have been in APC ten years ago.
Governor Sani told the decampees to notify their supporters of the readiness of APC to accept them into the party as their doors are still open to accept more defectors.
Sani said, “In 2027 election, the electorate will vote for APC in all the elections, from top to bottom. At the top, our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be elected. At the state level, the party will be voted for at the gubernatorial, National and State Assembly elections, by the Grace of God,’’ he said.
The Governor promised that projects will be executed in all the nooks and cranny of Kaduna State, irrespective of party affiliations and ethno-religious considerations.
Prominent amongst those who decamped to APC were former Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Muktar Ramalan Yero, Senator Shehu Sani, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, the gubernatorial candidate of NNPP in the last election and Alhaji Sani Shaaban, a former gubernatorial candidate.
Others were Senator Danjuma Laah who represented Zone three at the upper legislative chamber on the platform of PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, former National Organising Secretary of PDP and Ambassador Sule Buba, former Nigeria’s envoy to South Korea among others.
