A former lawmaker, Shehu Sani has slammed the Katsina elders.
This comes after they threatened the Federal Government over the relocation of the Federal Airports Authority (FAAN) and some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, from Abuja to Lagos.
Sani made the remark in a post on Friday on his Official X handle.
He acknowledged that the elders were free to express their opinions as citizens and exercise their right to challenge any act of unconstitutionality.
However, Sani questioned the morality of their action, pointing out that they were silent throughout the eight years their son was the president.
The post reads: “Eminent and respected Katsina Elders came out hard on the FG in a Press Conference against the relocation of some Federal establishments.
“They have the right to freely express their opinion as citizens and as elders.I believe in their right to challenge any act of unconstitutionality.
“But one may ask the morality of their action, having kept silent for eight years when their son was the President and half of their state was taken over by terrorists.
“Where were they when their women were raped, Children kidnapped and villages set ablaze by terrorists.
“Where were they when the nation’s treasury was looted and their state and region were impoverished under the leadership of their kin?
“Should we only speak truth to power when our kinsmen are not in power”?
