Governor Nasir El-Rufai,of Kaduna state has been accused of “thinking of removing President Muhammadu Buhari.” According to The Interview magazine, Mr Sani said: “It would be counter-productive for the Governor to start thinking of evicting Buhari in 2019 to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “El-Rufai should do his job and stop putting his eyes on the Presidency.”
Premium Times reports that Senator Sani and Governor El-Rufai have been loggerhead for undisclosed political reasons, leading to Sani’s suspension by the state branch of the party.
Sani accused El-Rufai of ruling like “an emperor,” promising to “give him war or peace,” whichever he chooses. In the same vein, former military governor of Kaduna state, Dangiwa Umar, a retired colonel, gave his first major interview in 23 years in which he laid in on Governor Adams Oshiomohle; and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains, Edwin Clark and Tony Anenih, calling them “traitors.”
Responding to a question on the fortunes of former President Goodluck Jonathan after he was defeated in March, Mr. Umar said, “I compare them (Oshiomhole and co) to insects that cling to flowers.
They are attracted by the nectar rather than by the beauty of the flower. “Governor Adams Oshiomhole, who generously praised Jonathan as a true democrat, suddenly turned into his most virulent critic.” Mr Umar revealed that during Jonathan’s testy days as acting President, he advised him to sack his service chiefs, but that the former president was too confused and agitated to act.
“He complained,” Umar said, adding that “the NSA had informed him that the service chiefs were disgruntled with the way the sick and bedridden Umaru Yar’Adua was being treated and that he, the acting president, was most disloyal.” Senator Sani recently came under severe criticism by governors under the auspice of Northern State Governors Forum (NSGF).
The governors said that Senator Sani erred over his comment on their trip to Saudi Arabia to obtain loans from the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), saying that lawmaker displayed ignorance on how government works.
