The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari and a National Leader of the All progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu made attempts to stop him from leaving the party.
Senator Sani who recently dumped the APC for Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), after failing to clinch the party's ticket, made the revelation on Channels TV's Programme, Sunday Politics.
According to him
“There was no time I demanded that I should be given automatic ticket. Last July, there was an uprising in the national party whereby legislators decided to decamp and I was part of the team but I was held back through the intervention of Bola Tinubu and President Buhari.
“They gave me the assurance that the issues prompting me to leave the party will be addressed.
“There were discussions and promises whereby those of us who have raised issues of problems with governors of our state will be addressed.
“For you to emerge as a candidate in the APC, first of all, you have to have somebody close to the seat of power, secondly if you are in the favoured book of the governor,” he added.
