The senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen. Shehu Sani, has revealed the antics some people tried to teach him as he obtained the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return to the senate in 2019.
He made the revelation in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle on Monday.
In one of the tweets, the vocal Sani said some groups approached him and offered to buy the forms for him.
The Herald recalls that some groups claimed to have bought the forms for President Muhammadu Buhari and Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
In yet another tweet, Sani said that a friend and fellow politician taught him how to fake a cry during the collection of his forms from the APC National Secretariat on Saturday.

Sani tweeted, “A group of youth struggling for daily bread approached me that I should permit them to announce that they bought a nomination form for me, as part of the political tradition, I politely declined. I don’t want to be in the league of that deceptive political tradition. They agreed.
“A politician and a friend gave me a pepper and a Handkerchief to rub on my face so as to shed tears ‘on the plight of the masses’’when I’m collecting and submitting my nomination form.I politely turned him down.I told him that I’m an activist and not an actor.”
