Don’t Wash Our Dirty Linens In The Public, APC Begs Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna central, on Tuesday, said that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have asked that its dirty linen should not be washed in the public.

Sani said that the APC, National Working Committee, NWC of the party said this during an interactive meeting which held at its national secretariat in Abuja.

Speaking to newsmen at the end of the meeting, Sani said the meeting was called to discuss the interim report of the ad-hoc committee on the humanitarian situation in the North East headed by him, which indicted the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.

Shehu said, “They want me to slow down on some of these Cruz missiles. I told them that it is either my honour or that of the letter that was sent by the Presidency. I did not in any way attack the President. But I faulted the letter based on three issues.

“First, my name was omitted in the letter as Chairman of the Senate adhoc committee. Secondly, the SGF said we didn’t invite him, but we did invite him and thirdly, the letter said there was no quorum.

“I told them that in as much as my comment in deodorant and insecticide was rattling, they should have invited the SGF for calling the senate and our report balderdash and they said they were also opposed to that language used.

“They said they don’t want us to wash our dirty linings in the public and I told them that at the end of the day, even if you wash your dirty linings inside the room, you will still have to dry them outside.

“I made clarifications that they are not opposed to corruption investigations, but they are worried by the missiles I used which is causing a lot of discomfort. I told them I was only using literary expression to send my message.

“When I say deodorant or insecticide, it is a clear definition of the bipolar anti-corruption crusade that is going on in the country and I believe that there is the need for Nigerians to wake up to these realities.

“I made it clear to them that we are going to do our own report and continue to do it. I am glad that they are not opposed to our investigation and they are also not opposed to the continuation of our investigation.”

He said the senate would release a detailed report on the probe of the contract which indicted the SGF.

“Nobody can stop that. We are determined to do our work and we have done an interim report and we are going to come out with the full detail after this break and nobody in the party has said he is opposed to it. But I think that their major concern was my grammar”, he declared.
