APC leader says Ward Excos “bribed” with N.5m to suspend Sen. Sani

The All Progressives Congress ​in Kaduna South Local Government Area has accused a state commissioner of bribing ward executives to suspend Shehu Sani, an APC senator.

The APC ​c​hairman of ​W​ard 10 in ‎Kaduna South Local Government, Ado Sani,
who is also the secretary of the forum of ward chairmen in the local government, said ​Wednesday that ​the local government ​wa​s not aware of the letter of suspension of Mr. Sani.

​He described the suspension as ​a ​”​charade​”, ​alleging that ​​Tundun Wada ward excos​ members,​ who carried out the purported suspension​,​ where bribed with ​N500,000.

“I wonder why the so called suspension letter was not signed by the ward 6 chairman, and why one of the signatories of the letter was an impostor,” he said.

On the alleged bribe, Mr. Ado said a “meeting was facilitated by the Senior Special Adviser on Trade and Investment, Mukhtar Ahmed​ Monrovia​​,​ at the Polo club in Murtala Square​,​ where he gave them N500,000 and promised them a lot more to come.

“They signed the document they thought was an attendance only for some of them to discover that what they signed was a suspension letter,” he disclosed.

Mr. Ado said​,​ “​as a way of finding solution to the matter, we the Forum of Chairmen of the local government invited Comrade Shehu Sani‎ and we had a meeting with him where we told him we were not happy with what was going on between him and the governor.

“Thereafter, we invited the Senior Special Adviser on Trade and Investment to the governor and we had a meeting with him the same day and pleaded that he arrange a meeting between us and the executive governor and told him all that transpired between us and the Senator who is ready for a round table to address the matter.

” He promised to facilitate a meeting between the forum and the ​g​overnor. On Monday I called him on the said meeting, he told me he was at home and promised ‎to call. He actually called but said the ​g​overnor was out of town.

“But to our chagrin, this same person who was supposed to facilitate a meeting between us and the governor, went ahead to organize a meeting between the Exco of ward six Tudun Wada at Murtala Square, to be precise at Polo Club, where he gave them five hundred thousand naira and a lot of promises that they should sign a paper for him.

“Most of them that signed the paper said they did not know what they signed and at the end of the day, we met some of these excos who cannot even speak English who said they thought what they signed was an attendance paper.

“We are calling on all our party members irrespective of whoever side you are on, the Governor and the Senator owes Kaduna people a lot. We went out to campaign and rally support for them, so what Kaduna people expect from them is dividends of democracy and development.

“The crisis is not going to augur well for the party in the state. Some people are talking of suspension, somebody cannot be suspended through a fake arrangement through somebody we thought will help to bring about the resolution of the conflict.”

Meanwhile, efforts to get any of the government officials to speak on the matter was not successful.

Government officials contacted declined to make any comment on the issue and pleaded to remain anonymous.

The Special Adviser to Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Politics, Uba Sani, did not respond to text messages sent to his phone line which was unavailable for calls.
