Senator representing Kaduna
central, Shehu Sani, has called for end to President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election
campaigns.
Sen. Shehu Sani urged Buhari to
abandon his second term ambition and address the security situation and other
challenges issues in the country.
The lawmaker described cheering
of Buhari’s re-election bid by party members at a time when Nigerians are being
killed as a political sacrilege.
In a statement released on
Friday, he said, “It is wrong to be talking of the re-election of Buhari as
President when hundreds of lives are being lost and people are being massacred
in different parts of the country.
“In time of bloodshed like this,
the issue should be how to come together and address the problem. But those
marketing the President at a time of this bloodshed are like people dancing on
the graves of Nigerians.
“Campaigning for Buhari for next
year’s election when people are being killed, when orphans and widows are being
produced as a result of the tragedy of these circumstances and people are being
kidnapped, I think amounts to political sacrilege.
“It is an insult on the
conscience of Nigerians and it is an insult on the moral integrity of Nigerians
for anybody to ignore what is happening and simply walk to the President and
tell him that what is important at this material time is his re-election campaign
for next year’s election.
Sani further warned of chaos if
campaign for Buhari re-election continues, while urging Buhari to visit victims
in Taraba,Benue and other parts of country in sorrow.
“If we allow this trend to
continue, it would threaten the peace and unity of this country.
“I advise people advising the
President and strategising for him to contest the elections to spare him some
time, advise him well and provide a solid strategy to end the carnage and
atrocities that is going on in the country today.
“Human life is more important
than politics, because you cannot preside over dead people. The images we see
in both social and traditional media is heart-rending and despicable.
“I can tell you that over a year
ago, the President was in Zamfara State in military fatigue to address the
problem of banditry and mass killing. The President should be seen in any part
of the country where such violence occurs.
“The President must visit
Southern Kaduna, Birnin Gwari, Taraba, Benue, Rivers and Adamawa states. It
gives people some hope that their Commander-in-Chief is determined and
committed to defend and protect them,” he added.
