Bakare Ibrahim
On the purported rumour of defection by Senator Magnus Abe in his words “How can I leave my father’s house and deny my inheritance. We built the house with our tears, our sweat, and our blood. We will stay in our fathers house and fight for justice. No stranger can chase me out of my home. Desperation leads to fake news. Ignore them and focus on the God of justice. Hold your peace and be still, for the God of justice will speak and every other voice shall be silent”.
It was earlier reported today by Commentator and former PDP Spokesperson, Deji Adeyanju on his Facebook page that Rivers Senator, Mr. Magnus Abe has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for the Opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Although details surrounding the decision are yet to be clear, it may not be unconnected to the withdrawal of the automatic ticket given to him initially by the party’s National Working Committee.
Shehu Sani contested for the party’s senatorial ticket along with four others.
He, however, lost to Uba Sani, who won with 2,088 votes, as against his 15 votes.
Other aspirants, Usman Ibrahim, got 129 votes, a former Senator, General Sani Saleh got 55 votes, while another contestant, Shamsudeen Shehu, got six votes respectively.
Shehu Sani who was not present at the primary described it as a “Kangaroo” exercise.
