Former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has stated that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Social Democratic Party, SDP, would make no difference, as he no longer holds any political relevance.
Media Talk Africa recalls that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai recently left the APC for the Social Democratic Party, SDP, stating that he sees the latter as a suitable platform for his future political engagements and activities.
Reacting via telephone, Shehu Sani told Media Talk Africa, that out of fear of the unknown, El-Rufai officially dumped APC for SDP. However, he insisted that El-Rufai’s defection was of no consequence, as he no longer wields any political influence.
It may also be recalled that Senator Shehu Sani, alongside other prominent politicians in the state—such as Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, Senator Danjuma Laah, and former Governor Ramalan Yero—returned to APC a few weeks ago. During their return, Shehu Sani reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that Governor Uba Sani is re-elected in 2027.
