Sani’s statement was contained in a post on his social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.
If the PDP has approved and endorsed its members joining the Government, then it has no business being in Court,” Sani said.
The statement came after former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike was appointed a minister by President Bola Tinubu.
Wike is of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and has not tendered any formal resignation.

The spokesperson of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the 2023 elections, Mr Daniel Bwala, has advised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Nyesom Wike, to halt his intention of demolishing buildings in Abuja.
Bwala said rather than threatening Abuja residents on revoking their property titles, Wike should focus on providing basic facilities in education, healthcare, and sports, as well as in recreational centres and, rendering affordable transport services to help the city.
While he did not mention the name of the former governor of Rivers state, Bwala revealed these statements in a veiled message coming a few hours that Wike threatened to demolish all illegal buildings and structures in the FCT as part of efforts to restore the Abuja Master Plan.
The minister revealed this at his inaugural speech shortly after being sworn in alongside 44 others on Monday in Abuja, saying, “It is not going to be business as usual. Those distorting Abuja Master Plan: if you build where you are not supposed to, the building will go down.”
“If you build on a green area, sorry, it will go down. Those who were allocated land and refused to develop them, we will revoke such lands and re-allocate them to those who are ready to develop them.
“Those who don’t pay ground rent, we will not notify them to do so, but I will not be tired of signing revocation notices,” Wike added.

During this period, he demonstrated strong leadership skills and a keen understanding of party dynamics. These were evident as he converted his residence to party office in his effort to ensure that the party represents a true state outlook when compared to other states in the country. This was not his last plan for the party, he ensured that he made the party stand out by building a party secretariat in Ebonyi State, a secretariat that is generally accepted to be the very best of its kind in the entire country.
