2023 Election: No legal obstacle against any PDP candidate in Plateau – Mutfwang
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has accused supporters of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, of smearing Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso following their political separation.
Sani was reacting to a recent statement by the ADC accusing Kwankwaso of supporting Obi out of personal ambition and working for President Bola Tinubu.
In a post on his X handle, Sani said the criticism of the two politicians, including allegations that they were working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or Tinubu, stemmed from bitterness over their political split.
“The ADC guys are still bitter about the Peter and Kwankwaso divorce, hence the smear that they are working for the ruling party or the President,” he wrote.
He argued that both politicians had established independent political records and were entitled to make their own political choices.
“No consideration to the fact that they are all accomplished politicians with their own independent track records, and have the right to associate and disassociate,” Sani added.
According to him, the criticism was a consequence of the politicians’ refusal to be used for the political interests of others.
“This is the price they will continue to pay for refusing to be supplementary, and disposable cargoes in someone’s container.
“They wanted to use them and sacrifice them for ritual in their perennial political expeditions. Political parties shouldn’t be cultish groups where one can’t pull out in peace,” he said.
