Kaduna Forum Wants Shehu Sani Suspended

Kaduna Forum Wants Shehu Sani Suspended Over Alleged Certificate Forgery, Perjury By Kingsley O. - May 4, 2017 7 Shares 2 5 The Kaduna Central Peoples Forum has called for the suspension of the Senator representing Kaduna Central, Comrade Shehu Sani over an alleged certificate forgery and perjury. The group made the call to the Senate at a press briefing in Kaduna on Wednesday, where they also charged the Inspector General of Police to order for the immediate prosecution of the Senator. "We are deeply embarrassed that an imposter currently represents us in the Senate. "Shehu Sani's continued stay in the Senate is not just an insult to the very sophisticated people of our Senatorial zone in Kaduna State but an injustice to the constituents who voted him based on false and fabricated credentials he tendered to our leaders, party leaders and INEC. "We are committed to redressing this injustice that has been done to our people by doing all that is within our powers, that is proper and legal to ensure that Mr. Sani leaves the Senate to pave way for a fit, proper and qualified person from Kaduna Central to go to Senate to give us quality and efficient representation," the group said, in a statement read by its secretary, Alhaji Aminu Sha'aibu.

"Our petition centres on the fact that as at the time the 2015 Senatorial election was conducted by INEC, Mr. Shehu Sani was not qualified to vie for the position given that he lied on oath to the commission about his academic qualification and falsified documents in bid to sustain the lies and false claims in the nomination form and affidavit he submitted to INEC," the group noted.

However, ‎reacting through his Special Adviser (Political Affairs), Suleiman Ahmed, he said the alleged certificate forgery was the handiwork of group loyal to Nasir El'Rufai. Ahmed maintained that the allegation was as spurious as it was in the imagination of those who concocted it. He explained that the same group had addressed the press for the fifth time, the last being where Senator Shehu Sani was accused of anti-party activities. "This is the fifth time a press conference was organized from Kaduna government house against Sani. The last time, they accused him of anti-party activities", Ahmed explained.

He urged the group to cross check their facts from the institution before addressing the press, stressing that governor El'Rufai was lacking focused in the affairs of the state.
