Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has stated that politics in Kano State has been hot since 1979.
Sani said defections in political parties across Nigeria have been seamless except in Kano State.
Posting on Facebook, the former lawmaker wrote: “All the defections in the country have been seamless and easy except that of Kano. Kano’s politics remains as hot as that of 1979. We were living witnesses to the turbulence of that era.
“When the PRP won Kano and Kaduna, we dragged the maize plants along the streets of Kaduna, the maize was part of the logo of the ruling NPN.
“When the PRP became factionalised, we became confused, not knowing who to support between the Aminu Kano faction and the Michael Imoudu faction led by Rimi.
“Balarabe Musa tried to control the situation in Kaduna until his impeachment, everyone lost hope. Politics is most times the art of moving from one storm to another. You need a heart of steel to withstand some of the pressures and stress.”
His comment comes amid plans by Governor Abba Yusuf to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Yusuf met President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday.
