Responding to Paul’s allegation in an interview with Saturday Beat, Peter’s manager, Emem Kush said, “I don’t think Peter has any comments on this issue, because the case is based on the EFCC investigation, and Jude Okoye. I don’t see what Peter Okoye has to do with it.

Peter’s petition was only against the company that has been receiving funds on his behalf. So, don’t mix up issues or create issues where they are not.

“The EFCC was the one that received all of this, so it’s best to speak to them to know their findings.”

Jude, who was remanded in prison on Friday by the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, is facing an alleged N1.38 billion fraud charge by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa

Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has shed light on his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking on Channels Television’s Hard Copy on Friday, Sani attributed his return to the efforts of Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, who spearheaded reconciliation initiatives across the state.

Sani had originally left the APC in October 2018 following internal disputes over the party’s primaries. He later joined the PDP, where he secured a senatorial ticket but lost the 2019 election to Uba Sani, the current Kaduna governor.

After spending years in the opposition, Sani officially rejoined the APC on February 16, along with other defectors from the PDP and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

During the interview, he emphasized his foundational role in the APC’s establishment in Kaduna and cited political differences with former Governor Nasir El-Rufai as the reason for his initial departure in 2018.

“The situation that led to our mass exit from the APC in 2018 has changed, which is why we have now returned to the party in Kaduna State,” he explained.

As one of the founding members of the APC in Kaduna, I was instrumental in building party structures, campaigning, and securing victories in the 2015 senatorial and gubernatorial elections. However, along the way, disagreements arose between me and then-Governor El-Rufai, leading to my exit.”
