SEN SANI TO FG: List of looters must include those in APC, Presidency cabal, not just PDP

The senator from Kaduna State who loves speaking in figurative language, Senator Shehu Sani, has applauded the recent promise by the Federal Government that it will soon publish names of Nigerians from whom looted funds were recovered.
He however urged the government to ensure that the names it promised to release will not be limited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he figuratively described as “aging Umbrella United players.”
Still employing the use of figurative language, Sani said the list should include those in the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) which he referred to as “the Broomers FC” as well as those he called “’Paris Saint Germain’ and Dynamo Cabal FC players,” apparently referring to those in the Presidency accused of corruption.
He wrote on his Facebook page, “The Federal Government decision to ‘publish the names of looters’ is commendable.
Hope the ‘Call up’ list will not be limited to the aging Umbrella United players but will include those in the Broomers FC and ‘Paris Saint Germain’ and Dynamo Cabal FC players.”
The senator, who represents Kaduna Central senatorial district at the Senate, was reacting to a recent report that President Muhammadu Buhari had directed ministries, departments and agencies to compile names of public officials who embezzled government funds and from whom some loots had been recovered.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), who disclosed this to the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) during the week, explained that the president’s directive was sequel to an order by the Federal High Court, Lagos, which directed the Federal Government to publish the names of looters and how much was recovered from each of them.
This is not the first time Sani will be employing the use of figurative expression to express national issues. He had once described Buhari as “Lion” and Nigerians as “hyenas”.
