“It is laughable of him to claim an aspirant who was the sole candidate cleared in Kaduna central offered him financial inducements. Senator Sani virtually had no rival in the primaries.

“It is obvious that some desperate politicians who have become synonymous with failure are behind all the baseless and frivolous accusations.
“Just like all their attempts to malign, frame up, intimidate and harm Sen Sani in the past failed, this one too has failed on arrival.”
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that Senator Shehu Sani was accused of offering a N10 million bribe to the chairman of the APC electoral panel which presided over the party’s recent primaries in Kaduna state, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, to get an affirmation for his controversial automatic ticket.
Iduoriyekemwen disclosed this while responding to questions over allegations that the committee was bribed to skew the primary election results in favour of some aspirants of the APC in the state.
The electoral panel chairman said: “The only person in Kaduna state who offered me money was Senator Shehu Sani through one of my comittee members, to inform me that N10m gift was set aside for the committee chairman, and I said we didn’t need the money, asking them what the money was for. ''
