The senator representing Kaduna
central, Shehu Sani on Thursday, thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for
intervening in the crisis facing the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna
State.
Sani, who spoke to newsmen after
a closed-door meeting with Buhari in Daura, said they deliberated on issues
bordering on strengthening the APC through resolution of all internal strife in
the party.
According to him, he used the
opportunity to assure the President of the support of his constituency for his
re-election bid in 2019.
He said: “I am also here to fully
assure him of the support of my constituency, Kaduna Central, to his aspiration
for the second term.
“I’m also here to assure him of
my own wholehearted support to the success of his administration and his return
to office for the second term.
“Those were the basic issues that
we discussed with him and other issues that border on the need to strengthen
our party; the need to end all internal strife and also the need to put heads,
hearts and hands together for the success of his administration and also for
the success of the party,” NAN quoted him as saying.
The Senator stated that his
decision to remain in the APC was not because his grievances against the party
leadership in Kaduna State had been addressed, but due to the intervention of
President Buhari and the National leadership of the party.
He, therefore, called on all
aggrieved members of the APC in the national assembly to put aside parochial
interests and join hands with the party in promoting national interest for the
general good of all citizens.
“Well, there is no human being
without any grievances but when national interest is put at the front side you
have to put aside other parochial interests.
“What we need to do as
politicians and as people representing those who elected us is to always put
the country first and know very well that we have both constitutional and moral
duty to work to the progress of Nigeria and of this government.
“So, I think these are the basic
issues which we discussed, grievances are natural but we have to know that we
have a country that we need to keep and also we have a country that we need to
support, so that it can progress,’’ he added.
