THE Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has alleged plans by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rush President Muhammadu Buhari into the traps and landmines left behind by the former administration.
Sani, who spoke yesterday following PDP’s criticism of Buhari on appointments, said the President’s pace was calculated.
The senator noted that the former ruling government had destroyed Nigeria and its economy as well as impoverished the citizens in the last 16 years.
He said this while addressing reporters shortly after his visit to the National Library in Kaduna.
The senator added: “President Muhammadu Buhari’s pace is not deliberate, but a calculated and deliberate acts to ensure that the steps he take are in the best interest of Nigeria and in the best interest of our people.
“The Jonathan administration had laid a lot of landmines, snares and traps. You can’t rush President Buhari into such landmines, snares and traps. His critics want him to fall into such traps.
“Those who are criticising Mr. President are the agents of the past. But, despite the challenges of APC, Nigeria cannot go back to the PDP. PDP represent evil and we are paying the price of allowing the PDP to rule Nigeria for 16 years.
“It is only people that are shameless that will be critical of the APC and President Buhari, after piling such enormous debt for our country, after looting the treasury of our country, after allowing blood to flow in all parts of Nigeria. And now, you are talking about government being slow, I think they are very unfair.
“We as a party will definitely overcome our differences and wax stronger, and no matter what it is, Nigerians will not go back to the past, because the past represents darkness and darkness is represented by the PDP.”
