APC Threatens to Expel Outspoken Senator for Opposing Buhari Over Fuel Price Hike

 

For his opposition and statement over the fuel pump price increase by the President Buhari-led federal government, the outspoken senator representing Kaduna central, Shehu Sani, has been threatened by his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna state with expulsion.

 

Days ago, the APC influential senator, criticized the decision of the President Buhari and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)'s decision to increase the price of fuel in the country, describing it as 'insensitive and punitive.'

 

The Kaduna APC viewed the lawmaker’s position as a sign of disregard for the party. Salisu Wusono, the party’s acting publicity secretary, spoke at a press conference on Thursday and said;

 

 

Salisu alleged that Sani had joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but still masquerading as an APC senator. "Since he does not have the courage to openly decamp, we will kick him out if he continues with his anti party activity," he said.

 

He expressed support for federal government’s policies and urged party loyalists and the people of the state to also support the government. "We applaud the courageous actions the federal government is taking to fight corruption and retrieve the public funds that were stolen by some Nigerians," he said.
