SAN FRANCISCO, August 03, (THEWILL) – The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently fumigate the metaphorical hyenas, jackals and wolves in his cabinet, stating that that would be the surest way for the President to achieve his vision, mission and programmes for Nigeria.
The civil activist-turned-politician stated this on Sunday in an interview with newsmen, shortly after his visit to home of the destitute in Kaduna, describing the proverbial animals as “elements within the cycle of the Presidency who have personal interests, other than that of Mr. President”.
He maintained that any cabinet member who is not performing satisfactorily should be shown the way out of the present administration while competent hands should be brought in to re-jig the incumbent government.
Sani argued that if the initial appointment was meant to appease political interests, then the time has come to face the reality so to avoid disappointing Nigerians who voted for the All Progressives Congress, APC, out of personal respect for Buhari and his integrity.
He said, “everybody knows who the lion is. As regarding the hyenas, jackals and wolves, I think I will leave that for Mr. President to mention them, if he wants to. But, in general terms, these are the elements within the cycle of the Presidency who have personal interests, other than that of Mr. President. And, they are called in broader sense ‘cabal.’ These are the mafia that exists within Presidency.
“As I said, their intent is different from that of the president himself, but, they are part of what is called Presidency.
“One thing the president needs to do, which is very important, is for him to take a proactive stand in order to reset his presidency by looking at his cabinet in totality.
“Those who have failed should be shown the way out and those who have not been able to perform satisfactorily should be replaced or reshuffled.
“But, it is time for Mr. President to throw some people out of his cabinet and change the portfolio of some of them so they can help him perform better.
“There is a message I am sending to Mr. President; to fumigate and disinfect the presidency, in the general interest of his own government and also the country as a whole,” he added.
