Former Kaduna Central Senatorial District lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has explained why he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The human rights activist shared this during an interview on Hard Copy, a Channels Television programme, on Friday.
Sani had initially resigned from the APC in October 2018 following disputes over the party’s primaries. He later joined the PDP, secured its senatorial ticket, but lost the 2019 election to the current Kaduna governor, Uba Sani.

On February 16, he officially rejoined the APC alongside some members of the PDP and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kaduna.
During the interview, Sani revealed that Governor Uba Sani played a key role in his return through reconciliation efforts across the state.
He emphasized that as a founding member of the APC in Kaduna, he contributed to building its structures.
He also noted that his previous fallout with former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai was due to political and personal disagreements.
He said, “A circumstance led to our mass exit from the APC sometime in 2018, and that circumstance has changed, and then we rejoined the APC in Kaduna state.
“First of all, I was a founding member of APC, particularly in Kaduna state. We established structures, and we did the campaigns and won the 2015 elections both at the senatorial and the governorship levels, somewhere along the way, we parted ways with the governor (Nasir el-Rufai) in the state.
“We parted ways over differences that are both political, personal and also issues that affect the state, and for that reason, we had to evict ourselves out of the party and then now we have a new governor who reached out to us.
“A governor who has been making consultations, building bridges across the state and then we also met and agreed that we should return to the party that we founded in Kaduna state.”
