The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is yet to be formally informed of the resignation of Senator Shehu Sani from the party.
The senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, had on Saturday made public his resignation from the party via a letter to that effect dated October 19, and addressed to the Chairman of the APC in Ward 6, Tundun Wada North, Kaduna, wherein he also copied the party’s National Chairman, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said it learnt about Sani’s alleged resignation and defection through the media.
“The party leadership will relate with all the facts concerning the reported defection and react appropriately in due course,” he said.

Part of Sani’s resignation letter read, “I present to you highest compliments and wish by this communication to formally offer to you my resignation from the All Progressives Congress.
Meanwhile, a source, close to the senator has revealed that Sani would announce his next political move, latest on Tuesday.
He said, “The senator wants to keep his political enemies guessing and in suspense for now. He will definitely make his next move public latest by Tuesday.”
It would be recalled that Senator Sani and the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai have been having a running battle.
