'I am with Buhari in APC,' senator says

The Senator Representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has said that as long as President Muhammadu Buhari remained in the All Progressive Congress (APC), he won't leave the party.

Sani statement is coming few days after he was accused of holding meeting with members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) from the Southern part of the state, which he debunk.

He was also controversially slammed with 11-Months suspension by the state officials of the APC, but the National Headquarters declared such a decision null "I would remain in APC as long as President Buhari is still in the APC," Sani said while distributing one hundred thousand transistor radio sets to seven local government areas under his senatorial district.

"Buhari is APC," Sani said." He said distribution of the radio was to raise the political consciousness of the people.

"We come from a part of the country where the major and most important source of information is the radio. Radio is an empowerment, a form of education and enlightenment."

"I am sharing this radio to the downtrodden within the cities and the rural areas so that they would be abreast with what is happening within their own locality, nationally and state," he said.

Senator Sani told journalists that the National body of APC has already invalidated his suspension from the party and advised the two parties to avoid any form of attack and counter attack.
