Senator Shehu Sani has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to
penalise Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State for allegedly leaking
to reporters a memo he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sani, who is the Vice-Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs,
called for the punitive measures in a statement in Abuja yesterday in
reaction to the alleged leakage.
Media reports had alleged that El-Rufai told Buhari in a memo, that he
was losing the vision and the momentum with which APC started the change
campaign.
The governor was alleged to have called on the President to communicate
constantly with Nigerians, so they would know the plans of his
government.
The reports also claimed that El-Rufai acknowledged that a cabal was
working hard to alienate the President from those, who even worked hard
to secure his victory during the 2015 election.
Sani said it was ironic that while El-Rufai could not stand constructive
criticism, he had the audacity to criticise the President.
“The governor always recommends that our party should punish me for
criticising him. Now that he has fired a cruise missile at the President
through a deliberately leaked memo, he should also be treated the same
way.
