A Kaduna state Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the defection of Senate President, Bukola Saraki from APC to PDP.
Sani was himself poised to defect to PDP only to be talked down by a trio of Adams Oshiomhole, Bola Tinubu and Buba Galadima.
Sani had some advise for the Presidency on how to move on from Saraki’s defection.
In a write up on Facebook called ‘Defections and The Way Forward’, Sani said: “In view of the current reality, it’s possible to have a harmonious working relationship between the parliament led by the opposition, and the Presidency led by the ruling party, in the remaining lifespan of this political dispensation.”
Sani stated that the Presidency could work well together with the Senate but would have to put the country first.
He said: “The Executive should respect the decision of those who chose to defect, maintain a cordial relationship with them and never attempt to persecute any of them for their individual political decisions.
“The Parliament led by the opposition must not be a stumbling block for government policies and programmes, and the person of the President and his office must be accorded the highest respect it deserves.”
Following the departure of Saraki, Sani said that the two opposing parties would need to stop trading barbs with each other and instead join hands for the common good of the nation.
