Shehu Sani says Buhari’s govt is deceitful about restructuring

Senator Representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has lamented the current state of the nation and said that Nigeria may soon be under a tyrannical government.

The senator said in terse statement on his Twitter handle, “When the Parliament is demonized; When the Judiciary is violated; When the free press is hunted; When the civil society is antagonized; a tyranny is under construction.”

Sani stated this in apparent response to sustained allegations in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari led executive arm of the All progressives Congress (APC) government has not been fair in its dealing with the legislatures, judiciary arms of government as well as with newsmen and civil society organisation.
