The Senator representing Kaduna central Shehu Sani has called on
president Muhammadu Buhari to heed the admonition of former president Olusegun
Obasanjo and quit his re-election bid.
Sani who is a member of the All Progressives Congress, said the
president should emulate Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and bow out while the
ovation is loudest.
Premium Times reports that the senator said the views advanced by the
former president remains the views of the majority in the ruling class.
He added that the ‘truth’ is better than ‘deceptions’ currently being
availed President Buhari. According to him, ''Former president Olusegun verdict
on the Buhari Administration remains his personal opinion which he is entitled
to but also had the courage, the principle and the confidence to voice it out.
''Obasanjo’s views reflects and represent the views of many members of
the political ruling establishment but who simply lacks the courage to speak
the truth to power, out of fear of political consequences.
''There exist a regime and
climate of fear among the ruling political establishment; the views expressed
before the president is a polar difference and distant from the views they
express behind the president.
''The bitterness of Obasanjo’s
truth will heal the president better than the corrosive deception of the
political Pilgrims to the villa.'' He advised Nigerians not to discard the
contents of the letter while advising President Buhari to heed the advice.
The senator added: ''Those who celebrated Obasanjo when he called
National Assembly members unarmed robbers should not demonize him when he calls
the knights and Courtiers of the President names.
''Obasanjo’s letter is a truth packaged in Dynamite that must not be
ignored or disposed recklessly. The ship of the Nigerian state is staggering to
a halt; the nation is politically divided along ethnic and religious lines.
President needs to eavesdrop on his friends to get their inner views.
''President Buhari cannot get the
truth from psycophants, favour seekers, patented friends of power and people
whose political survival and future is dependent on his continued stay in
office even is to the detriment of his integrity or moral seat in history.”
