Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central has reacted to the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari
against tenure extension for the All Progressives Congress (APC) National
Chairman and other elected national and state officials of the party.
Buhari on Monday told members of
the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party that the tenure elongation of
Oyegun and others was illegal.
Reacting, Sani in an interview on
Channels TV praised President Buhari for saving the party from what he
described as a national disaster.
“The intervention of the
President, if it was not done, it would have been disastrous for the party. I
feel highly relieved.
“So, in every sense of the word,
it has saved the party from what would have consumed it at the end of the day.
“If we went ahead with that
tenure elongation, and someone from the opposition party goes to court after
all the processes of congresses and primaries has been done, the point is that
we may end up without a governorship or presidential candidate and without a
candidate at all the legislative arm of government.
“On my part, I told him (Buhari)
right to his face that as a man who has seen it all, who has achieved so much
as a public officer, he should outrightly reject that extension because the
members of the party, we are outrightly opposed to it.
“What happened is that there were
people who misled the President, misled the party and are trying to use that
extension for them to achieve their own end,” he said.
