An in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari, Sani Mahmood Sha’aban, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
His resignation follows the controversy, which trailed the governorship primaries of the ruling party in Kaduna over the alleged non conduct of APC Ward Congresses in the State.
Sha’ban, who lost the party’s ticket to Senator Uba Sani, had challenged Sani’s victory in court. However, two weeks ago, the Kaduna court threw away the case, saying it lacked jurisdiction to entertain it.
At a news briefing yesterday, a letter which Sha’aban personally signed was read by his Campaign Director, Barrister Joshua Danladi Ephraim.
Sha’ban said activities of the party made him reconsider his membership, alleging that rather than bringing dividends of democracy closer to the masses, “some few elements in Kaduna APC have hijacked the party structure”.
Sha’aban said he is now in consultation for his next line of action, saying very soon he will announce the party he would join.
He said he would continue to challenge the APC Governorship candidate in court despite his resignation from the party.
