Senator Shehu Sani (APC-Kaduna Central) has alleged that political elite see President Muhammadu Buhari as a meal.
In a post on his Facebook page, the outspoken lawmaker said political elite wants to feed off the president, which is why they want him to contest in 2019.
Sani wrote: ”Whether Baba will seek re-election or not remains his individual decision to make. He is old enough and has been in politics and government longer than anyone in his party or cabinet as to know what to do and the right time to do it. He is the best person to judge and decide for himself what to do.
”The nation still needs his services but it’s still up to him to decide if he is willing and fit to provide more or not. The political elite in habit of applying pressure are pressure cookers and they see Baba as a meal and a mill.
”Baba is like a good driver who has driven for a long distance and so much cherished by his passengers, whether he is willing to cover more distance its best decided by him. Every leader chooses his seat and space in the ship of his and his country’s history.
”The reasons the masses want Baba continue is not the same as with the reason the elite want Baba to seek re-election .”
