Politics Why Buhari is Right to Speak to Nigerians in Hausa – Shehu Sani

[kemi]

A senator from Kaduna state, Shehu Sani has defended President Muhammadu Buhari’s controversial use of Hausa language in his Sallah message to Nigerians Saturday.



Shehu Sani, in a Facebook post said ‘There’s nothing wrong with the President sending Sallah message in Hausa language’’

Mr. Sani, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, said Mr. Buhari was not speaking in his capacity as Nigerian president but as a private citizen, since the country already has an acting leader in place.

“He is on medical vacation. He has transferred power to the Acting President. It’s the Acting President that is bound to act ‘officially’ on state matters, including speaking in ‘our official language, English,” he said.

But the senator admitted that the controversy sparked by Mr. Buhari’s use of Hausa was “avoidable” in the light of recent tensions in the country.

Mr Sani, this is hypocrisy on your side, the central language that unites this nation is english. This is a clear sign of Islamic agenda. Stop defending error

He is right in a way. Logical analysis of his point proves him right. Mr Buhari addressed the Muslims not Nigerians. They wanted to mean the purported voice/address of Mr Buhari for Nigerians which is very erroneous.

Buhari is now a private man, an ordinary man as far as he is on vacation. So, by this reasoning, no body should address him as President again until they ll try to resume him to work from home. The reason for this ultimatum is because Sen. Sani Shehu has opened our eyes to see that he has been constitutional freed from all his official duties as a president (now to be done by Prof YO). So now he is not the president.
