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”.
