Omokri says Oshiomhole, APC used and dumped Shehu Sani; Dino Melaye reacts

Senator Shehu Sani

Reno Omokri, former new media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday said the All Progressives Congress, APC, used and dumped Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central despite his loyalty to the party.

According to Omokri, APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole deceived Sani from decamping alongside Senate President Bukola Saraki with the option of automatic ticket.

He stated this while reacting to Sani’s resignation from the party on Saturday over prolonged crisis in the state chapter of the party.

The former presidential spokesman wrote: “Poor Shehu Sani, when you should have honourably left with Bukola Saraki, you allowed yourself be deceived by Oshiomhole’s empty promise of ‘automatic ticket’.

“Now that automatic ticket has become automatic trick, you now realise you were used and dumped.”

Omokri further called on politicians to learn from Shehu Sani resignation.

“Nasir El-rufai kicking Senator Shehu Sani out of the APC after they have finished using him. Let this be a lesson to all politicians. Don’t call a cow your mother just because you want to eat meat,” he added.

Dino Melaye

In his reaction, Senator representing Kogi West Dino Melaye took to his Twitter page, sympathizing with the Kaduna lawmaker, saying the ruling party were double-minded concerning Shehu Sani.

“Sen Shehu Sani has just dumped the APC. People who did not like you in the morning and afternoon but claim to like you at night,I beg, borrow urself some brain.

“Baba God I thank you say I no become suya in the hands of cash and carry party. (APC) Aboki accept my condolence.Oh my home.”
