Speak out on your re-election, Sani urges Buhari

Abuja

The senator representing Kaduna Central on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Shehu Sani has said the party will be doomed if the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s led reconciliation committee of aggrieved members fails.
The senator also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately tell Nigerians whether he will seek re-election in 2019 presidential election or not.
The outspoken Sani was at the national secretariat of the APC at the weekend to intimate the National Working Committee (NWC) of a parallel excos and new secretariat in Kaduna chapter of the party.
Speaking with newsmen after a closed door meeting, Sani warned the party leaders to take side or recognise the other faction of the party led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
“Right now, the party is already divided in Kaduna and it is for the national secretariat to note this and we have said it in clear terms. The problem has defiled solution for two years, but we believe that Asiwaju can do a lot of reconciliation and we hope that he will be able to achieve a lot because if Asiwaju fails, it is going to be doom for the party.
“We are going to remain in the APC and pursue this agenda and my presence here at the APC is to send a clear message, appreciating Tinubu’s appointment and to tell them that it is in the best interest of the party that they don’t take sides or the most they can do is to give us equal treatment as far as Kaduna is concerned,” he said.
While decrying the level of crisis rocking APC across the country, Senator Sani said: “It is of concern that a party that came to power with so much good will and hope has found itself in a civil war with itself. Right now, the APC is both the government and the opposition because most of the criticism and opposition that is going on in the country is within the APC itself.”
Speaking on why President Buhari should make his intention on whether he will seek re-election known, Sani said: “I think it is in the interest of the country and the interest of the party that President Buhari makes his position known because right now, it has been his aides that are speaking on his behalf and whether they are doing it with his consent or not, no Nigerian for now knows whether President Buhari will contest or not.”
