Wusono said it was disappointing for a senator who passed the 2016 budget that has no provision for subsidy to turn around and attack President Buhari for implementing the decision.

He said:“How can a politician with any sense of discipline or commitment to the public interest fail to see that the fuel subsidy regime is bankrupt and is no longer in the interest of our people.

“In speech and conduct, he has shown himself incapable of loyalty to our party the APC and our great leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Having ridden on the back of our party and the popularity of Buhari to get to the Senate, Sen. Sani has since abandoned any pretension to discipline or loyalty to any principle.”

The party spokesman alleged that Senator Sani was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was masquerading as an APC senator.

He said: “Since he does not have the courage to openly decamp, we will kick him out if he continues with his anti-party activity.”

Wusono expressed the state APC’s support for federal government policies and urged party loyalists and the people of the state to also support the government.
