A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Abbas Ani, has written to the leadership of the party, alleging that the signatures in Senator Shehu Sani’s letter of suspension from the party, were forged.
The Tudun Wada Ward Six was said to have suspended Sani, the senator representing Kaduna-Central senatorial district, in December.
Sani was suspended for 11 months over anti-party activities as well as criticising the policies of the state governor, Mallam Nasir El-rufai.
However, the Chairman of the party in Tundun Wada Ward Six in Kaduna South Local Government Area, Abbas Ani has disowned the letter containing Sani’s suspension.
In another letter dated December 31, 2015, Ani informed the APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, that the letter of suspension was not issued from his ward.
Ani said the authors of the letter forged his signature and those of other party leaders in the ward.
“Our attention has been drawn to a document being circulated on the suspension of Senator Shehu Sani. We wish to state categorically that the letter did not emanate from Ward Six as claimed.
“The conception of the idea that led to the action was mustered by an official of the state government (names withheld), who summoned a meeting of my executive and induced them with N500, 000 to suspend Senator Sani, which they rejected.
“We issued a statement which was widely published in some national dailies and broadcast on some local radio and television stations in Kaduna State, to refute and distance ourselves from the said document.
“It is on this premise that we are calling on the party to dismiss and disregard such document as it was not duly signed by the party executive in ward six at any time.”
