He said the APC must get its house in order for it to confront various challenges bedevilling the nation. Sani said the APC-led administration in the country had achieved some successes, particularly in the area of insurgency and the image of the country which is presently on the positive side. “On the economy, there is drastic reduction in corruption, but the mindless killing in some parts of the country is mind-boggling; this is a serious threat to the peace of our nation,” he said. According to him, the killing is unacceptable and the president must stand up firmly against it. The lawmaker described the South West region as the heartbeat of the APC, saying when the party suffers a stroke in the region it would lead to devastation. Sani categorically opposed the call for creation of state police. “Our crisis in Kaduna is an APC affair; the crisis got to this stage because our party failed to resolve it till it got to the stage of demolishing party’s secretariat. “Imagine, if such a governor is now given the right to create state police, what will be the fate of those who disagree with him?” The lawmaker said his recent revelation on the salaries of lawmakers was to save the dignity and integrity of the National Assembly that had been stained. He urged Nigerians to brace up and demand to know the running cost of the presidency and the judiciary for accountability. PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 new app According to an earlier report by NAIJ.com, Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, said the plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to implement restructuring is just a mere form of campaign for the forthcoming 2019 elections. In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the senator claimed that Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna state came up with the idea of restructuring just to gain political relevance. He said: “Governor El-Rufai is the chief architect of that committee because he wants political relevance. How can an APC that promised restructuring only think of restructuring when it is a year to an election? Document of that committee is more or less a campaign document for 2018. There will be no restructuring, you can quote me.” APC official tells why his party could be voted out in 2019 - on NAIJ.com TV.
