A women leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hajia Maryam Suleiman, has slammed Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, accusing him of disloyalty to his predecessor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
Suleiman, who is popularly called Mai Rusau, was until her suspension, the APC Women Leader in Badarawa/Mailali Ward.
In a video which has gone viral, Suleiman recalled how El-Rufai, in 2019, travelled almost 500 times to lobby party chieftains at the APC headquarters in Abuja to ensure that Sani became the representative of Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly.
Speaking in Hausa, Suleiman said El-Rufai fought hard and took risks to remove former Senator Shehu Sani in order to make way for Uba Sani, who was considered loyal at the time.
The outburst earned her a suspension from the party.
The letter, signed by the Ward Chairman, Ali Maishago and Secretary, Saka Bassahuwa, accused Suleiman of gross misconduct for criticizing Governor Uba Sani.
Meanwhile, speaking with journalists today, Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, recalled how he was blocked by the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, when he attempted to return to the 9th Senate.
According to him, El-Rufai blocked his return to the Senate because he stopped him from accessing a $350 million World Bank loan when he was chairman of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts.
Shehu Sani insisted that he took the action in the interest of the people of Kaduna State, as the debt hanging on the state was more than revenue accruing to the state at the time
