Coalition: Why El-Rufai, Amaechi, Atiku are criticising, conspiring against Tinubu – Gov Uba Sani

• He stated that the main goal of the coalition is to grab power and not solve the plethora of challenges the country is facing

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said there is nothing altruistic and people-oriented about the proposed coalition by some politicians.

He stated that the main goal of the coalition is to grab power and not solve the plethora of challenges the country is facing.

Last week, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi among other top politicians gathered at a conference in Abuja, where they criticized President Tinubu and the ruling party.

Speaking during an interview aired by TVC News on Monday, Governor Sani stated that the allegations made by the coalition are unfounded.

The governor stated that none of the coalition members can match Tinubu’s democratic credentials, emphasizing that the President fought for and remains committed to democracy.

“Most of these politicians making such comments might just be talking to themselves,” he said. “We used to be in the same party at some point, and I must say I’m surprised and shocked by their actions,”.

He added that the coalition lacked factual evidence for their claims, adding that some of the politicians in the coalition left office two years with nothing to show for it.

“When they come out with allegations without facts, it’s just an attempt to confuse Nigerians,” the governor said. “Most of these politicians held positions in government less than two years ago. What did they do while they were in power?”

He questioned their credibility, suggesting that their fight was solely about power.

“Nigerians are very clever. They know these politicians are not fighting Tinubu because they have something better to offer. They had opportunities in the past, but what did they do?”

Governor Sani added that some of the politicians recently sang praises of President Tinubu but changed their stance after leaving government.

“Most of them were sitting at the same table with us, fighting for Tinubu because we believed he was the best man to move this country forward,” he said. “What are their democratic credentials if I may ask? What have they done to advance democracy in Nigeria?”
