Former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the defection of Yunusa Tanko from Peter Obi’s camp, questioning what could have prompted him to part ways with the former Labour Party presidential candidate.
In a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, Sani said nobody in the northern part of the River Niger had fanatically defended and promoted Obi like Tanko.
“What must have happened for Yunusa to part ways with Dr Peter? Anyway, nothing is impossible in politics,” he said.
Tanko was not only a supporter of Obi but also served as his spokesman and Media Director of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Organisation in 2023.
