Sani who reacted to the release of portfolios attached to the ministers, particularly picked holes in the appointment of Mohammed Badaru, who is a core politician, as the Minister of Defence.

The former senator who is now a public commentator, said a sensitive ministry like the defence should have been saddled with a retired military officer with records of accomplishments and not a politician.
