Several reactions have followed a statement made by Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna lawmaker, in response to claims by Umar Ardo that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) was registered illegally.
Sani’s remarks were shared in a post on his official X account on Monday, May 4, 2026, amid ongoing political discussions surrounding recent party defections. The development follows the reported move of Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State, from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the NDC. The shift has generated widespread debate, particularly among political commentators and supporters of various parties.
In his post, Sani addressed the evolving situation by drawing an analogy between political realignment and personal relationships. He suggested that those who initiate major changes, such as leaving one political platform for another, should be prepared to face the consequences of their decisions without attributing blame to external actors.
“Peter and Kwankwaso filled for divorce and married a new partner. Naturally, abrupt divorce comes with pain, anger and consequences. This time around, don’t blame the President or the ruling party,” he wrote.
