Recently, the two politicians had engaged themselves in a war of words with the All Progressives Congress (APC) Kaduna state chapter threatening to kick out Sani for his opposition to the recent fuel pump price increase.
But in his reaction to the threat, Sani, through his special adviser on politics and ideology, Suleiman Ahmed, described the APC’s threat as the hallucination of a barely educated ogogoro drinker.
He also stressed that he remains a devoted supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that “he is neither a sycophant nor a hypocrite who will not speak his mind when there is the need to do so.”
Days later, Sani, who represents Kaduna central senatorial zone, lost his mother, Hajiya Fatima Abubakar Sani, on May 21 at the age of 75.
