Elder statesman, Tanko Yakasai, has cautioned President Muhammadu
Buhari to halt selective persecution of perceived political opponents in
the name of fighting corruption. In a statement in Kano yesterday, the
octogenarian said that recent action of the administration by some of
its leading figures left much to be desired. Yakasai said:
“Recent policy and non-policy actions of the new administration as promoted by some leading figures and the administration’s security and anti-graft agencies, have left much to be desired.”
He faulted the treatment meted out on
the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd.), and
perceived opponents of the administration. Yakasai disclosed that the
overwhelming feeling today was that Nigeria was on a walk- back to
dictatorship, stressing that the military background of President
Muhammadu Buhari had taken the front seat. He appealed to the President
to ensure that justice was done to Nigerians, irrespective of their
political affiliations.
