. Obidients more peaceful than Buhari’s supporters
A former Senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, Shehu Sani, has disagreed with professor Wole Soyinka’s description of Peter Obi’ supporters as fascists.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the former Senator insisted that Obi’s supporters were not fascists as the professor had characterized them.
Senator Shehu Sani referred to the maltreatment of those opposed to the ambition of President Muhammadu Buhari in the northern parts of Nigeria in the past.
According to the Senator, “In 2011, any northerner opposed to the ambition of Buhari was considered an infidel. After the elections, mobs resorted to violence & invaded the homes of members of the PDP & killed their family members & burned down their houses. If those were not fascists, Peter’s guys are not.
“The criticisms against the outcome of the general elections remain peaceful & civil. A major achievement in our democratic history that we are failing to appreciate. Yes, it’s not quiet & it is never going to be quiet. If it’s quiet then it’s not democracy.”
