Former senator representing Kaduna central, Shehu Sani, has called on the minority leadership to pick a leader that will play the role of an opposition to avoid moving the nation to a ‘one-party dictatorship’ state.
Senator Sani also stated in an interview that, the G5 faction of the PDP are working in line with the ruling party and has called on the main opposition party to take serious action on those working against the party.
“The G5 are trying to help the ruling party by having a minority leader that will play the card of the ruling party. They are trying to prevent opposition from playing its role by a to process.
“The PDP has not taken a serious action against those who undermined, betrayed its own course in the 2023 election. The faction that broke away from the PDP, that is the G5 are determined to work 100% in line with the ruling party and there is no way you can call yourself an opposition party is when the people you are appointing in position of leadership are simply the agents or stooges of the party”. He said
He also responded to the claims that an aggrieved member and a former governor of the PDP is collaborating with the forces trying to foist a friendly minority leader to the ruling party on the senate.
He said “The former governor, who is a member of the G5, all he is trying to do, I believe is to have a minority leader that he anoints which will give him the liver and relevance in terms of his engagement with the ruling party and that is all that it is”
“The danger is that the opposition will disappear once you have a leader who is there simply to work for the ruling party and the main opposition, PDP have to be very careful about this because if they allow those among the G5 to have an agent who is going to be the minority leader, they have simply surrendered for the next four years, the role that they ought to have played in the national assembly”.
