Fix issues in your party and stop blaming the president- Shehu Sani tells opposition parties
Shehu Sani, former Senator for Kaduna Central, criticized opposition parties for blaming President Bola Tinubu for their internal conflicts, urging them instead to resolve their own issues.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Wednesday, Sani expressed disappointment that the opposition, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), expected the president to fix their problems.
Sani highlighted the illogic of this stance: “How logical is it when you have a problem in your house, then you start blaming your neighbour or adversary for it when you should address it.”
“If there is a problem in the PDP, it is for the PDP to solve; if there is a problem in the Labour Party and SDP, it is for the Labour Party and SDP to solve. If there is a problem in the NNPP, it is for the NNPP to solve.”
He further questioned, “I don’t know whether they are also trying to ask the president to come to their party and solve their problems.”
“If you are in the PDP and you have people working against your party, you refuse to suspend them, you refuse to expel them, and then you decide to focus on the president as being responsible for your problem. I think you are simply being irresponsible.
“If you are in the SDP and you have a crisis in your party and you don’t fix it, and then you are looking for the president or blaming the president, trying to find a scapegoat for your problems, I think you are just unserious,” he added.
Sani further stated that it was not in the best interest of the president to fix the issues in the opposition, stressing it was part of a political strategy to see “your adversary” battling so many issues.
“So, to me, as a president from a ruling party, he cannot be seen trying to fix a missile or a gun that will be directed at him,” the former Kaduna lawmaker said.
“It is part of a political strategy to ensure that your adversary has so much problem within his own area that he will not be able to contend,” he stated
