As reported by The Nation, Sani’s supporters came from across the 23 local government areas of the state.
Senator Sani's supporters urged him to return to the APC. His supporters said they are convinced the former lawmaker will officially return to the APC in the coming week.
The former Campaign Director, of Senator Sani in the PRP, Monday Jaji, said he has been struggling for Sani’s defection for over two years.
He said this is due to the former federal lawmaker's track record of achievements while representing Kaduna central senatorial district in the national assembly from 2015 to 2019.
Jaji said Sani is a man of the masses and stands for the truth, Vanguard reports.
“When he was a Senator, Comrade Shehu Sani built seven hospitals across his constituency. He distributed over 200 transformers to communities, assisted the poor masses, and even bought a house for the destitute on Kano Road.
“Shehu Sani built a hospital in Chikun and built 3 in Igabi Local Government, Rigachikun, and Giwa Local Government.”
