Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani criticized NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi for attending the inauguration of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential campaign office in Abuja. Sani, running for re-election on the APC platform, accused Obi of supporting a political rival. The incident highlights growing tensions between political factions in Nigeria.
Sani’s remarks came amid ongoing political maneuvering ahead of upcoming elections. While Obi defended his attendance as a gesture of unity, Sani suggested it was a strategic move to bolster Makinde’s campaign. The exchange underscores the competitive nature of Nigeria’s political landscape.
The Department of State Services (DSS) is currently investigating claims of fabricated statements attributed to President Godswill Akpabio. This separate issue reflects broader concerns about misinformation in Nigerian politics. Both events highlight the challenges of maintaining political integrity in a highly contested environment.
