I’ll tackle Wike next time we meet –Shehu Sani

Politics tamfitronics A former federal lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has vowed to tackle the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his comment at an event recently.

Sani, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, was reacting to Wike’s comment challenging the former lawmaker to list his contributions to democracy when at the Senate.

Seemingly furious Sani accused Wike of intentionally asking to speak last at events so as to escape responses to his comments.

“Wike is my good friend. I would have preferred to reply to him at an event rather than on the TV. I have attended two events where he strategically placed himself at the end of the event and made sure nobody replied him but I believe that when an opportunity comes next, I am going to take him on.

“But nobody can demean the struggle we did to free Nigeria from military dictatorship. If not for the struggles we did to de-establish military dictatorship in Nigeria, people like Wike couldn’t have been Local Government chairman, governor or minister today. He is a beneficiary of our struggles and sweats and all that we have invested in it.

“There was a certain time, when I was in Port Harcourt Prison, serving a prison term as a political prisoner, where was he at that time?

“Next time when we go for an event since I know his formula, speaking last, closing the chapter and everybody should go home. It will never happen again. He will certainly get a reply,” he said.

Sani however said people were overblowing Wike’s comment as he was not specifically speaking about him (Sani) but on what the Senate had done to improve democracy, saying he wouldn’t take Wike’s comments personally.
