Opposition Voices Are Attacking Tinubu For Selfish Reasons – Shehu Sani

Senator Shehu Sani

Nigerian politician Senator Shehu Sani has come out to say that the opposition figures attacking President Bola Tinubu are not doing it out of concern for Nigerians.

He recently revealed that they are all speaking out of frustration for losing power in 2023, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the opposition leaders are only angry because they are excluded from the system, and while they are acting like trade unionists fighting against a capitalist order, the truth is that they are all birds of the same feather.

Sani added that he is tired of Nigerian politicians weaponising the country’s problems and seizing the slightest opportunities to present themselves as a better alternative.

His words, “When you have a group of disgruntled elements who are frustrated and come together, it’s not about the country or the people — it is simply about being excluded from the system.

It’s not that they are now Marxists or trade unionists confronting a capitalist order — they’re all from the same bourgeois political class.

They use every opportunity to weaponise our challenges and present themselves as a better alternative, but many of them have been in power since 1999.

It’s unfortunate that the opposition is looking to the president to solve their problems. If there’s a problem in the PDP, NNPP, SDP or any party, and you have members working against the party but refuse to expel or suspend them, then turning to blame the president is irresponsible.

PDP, NNPP, LP, and SDP should fix their internal problems and stop looking toward the president. Only then can they play the role of a functional opposition.

As president of the ruling party, he cannot be expected to fix the very machine that would be turned against him politically. It is a political strategy — just like in football — you want your opponent distracted with internal problems.”

WOW.
