Atiku, El-Rufai, Amaechi, Others Frustrated Over Exclusion By Tinubu – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani has claimed that Atiku, El-Rufai, and Amaechi among others are frustrated over exclusion by Tinubu Government.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has said that recent opposition coalition and criticisms of President Bola Tinubu-led government were not grounded in genuine public interest.

 

This is even as he criticised ongoing efforts by opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, among others, to build a coalition against Tinubu ahead of 2027.

Sani instead claimed they were driven by personal frustration, exclusion from power, and failed political ambition.

 

The ex-lawmaker stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

 

He noted that most opposition leaders today are “simply disgruntled” politicians who were once part of the same political establishment they now criticise.

 

“When you have a group of disgruntled elements who are frustrated and come together, it’s not about the country or the people, it is simply about being excluded from the system,” he stated.

 

Sani dismissed claims that ideological differences separate the opposition from the ruling party, saying they are all from the same elite class.

 

“It’s not that they are now Marxists or trade unionists confronting a capitalist order — they’re all from the same bourgeois political class.

 

“They use every opportunity to weaponise our challenges and present themselves as a better alternative, but many of them have been in power since 1999.”
