The senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly , Shehu Sani , has warned a former Bauchi State Governor , Isa Yuguda , to beware of his erstwhile party , the All Progressives Congress , noting that the party is “ full of crocodiles and sharks . ”Shehu Sani was elected to the Senate on the platform of APC in 2015 , but he left the party for Peoples Redemption Party after he lost at the primaries in September .

Sani ’ s warning to Yuguda came on the heels of the latter ’ s defection to the APC from the Green Party of Nigeria .

In an interview published on Saturday in Daily Trust online and tweeted by Sani on his verified Twitter handle @ ShehuSani , Yuguda adduced reasons for joining the APC : “ The time had come to make the move. It was God ’ s time, which is always the best .

“ The decision to move was made together with my followers. We decided to leave GPN because it is a small party, even though it has a very good chairman, Dr . Sam Eke.

“ GPN only existed in Bauchi State , so we did not see ourselves making any serious impact countrywide.

“ We did not want to mortgage our political future in a small party. So, we decided to move to a bigger platform where we can contribute towards producing a good leader for the country .

“ Going to APC is also appropriate because its leader, President Muhammadu Buhari has a number of programmes in place that , when implemented, will move the country forward . ”

However , Yuguda and Sani have something in common : complaints against their erstwhile respective parties — GPN and APC .

Just as Sani left APC sequel to losing to Uba Sani , a Special Adviser to Governor Nasir el – Rufa ’ i of Kaduna State , Yuguda left the GPN for APC after he contested the Bauchi South senatorial bye -election on GPN’ s platform but lost , saying that at least 120 , 000 of votes cast for him were cancelled .

Sani therefore took to his Twitter handle , warning Yuguda , whom he addressed simply as Bro Y , that :
