Shehu Sani: Why Buhari should be commended

Shehu Sani, the Senator representing Kaduna Central has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari over his decision not to use any money from government treasury for 2019 campaign

Buhari on Wednesday pledged that he would not authorise the use of any money from the government treasury for his re-election campaign.

The president made the declaration in a statement by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity at the close of the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in Abuja.

Sani applauded Buhari for his refusal to campaign with public treasury.

He, however, warned governors donating vehicles and other items for Buhari’s campaign to be cautious.

The Kaduna lawmaker on his Twitter page wrote: “Buhari deserves commendation for being the first leader to openly oppose the use of money from public treasury for his campaigns.

“Governors and other ‘eye serving’heads of MDAs ‘donating’ hundreds of vehicles: Be mindful of your wrists when pleasing a lion with a chunk of meat.”
