You goofed on comments on Nigerian youths, tender apologies to them – Shehu Sani tells Buhari

Senator representing Kaduna Central (All Progressives Congress, APC) on the floor of the Senate, Shehu Sani has said President Muhammadu Buhari erred on his recent statement at the Commonwealth meeting on Wednesday that ‘Nigerian youths are lazy, uneducated and want freebies.’

The outspoken senator, however, advised the president to accept his mistake and tender his apologies to the Nigerian youths.

Sani said this in a Facebook post on Friday. He also requested that the president tell the youths what he had done for them and what he would do for them in future.

His post reads: “The President should simply withdraw the statement on the youths and apologize; and tell them what he will do for them in addition to what he had done for them.The President spin doctors are trying to spray fragrances on the feces and lace the dung with olive oil, it’s absurd.The President is a human being, he can gaffe and should be forgiven and should not be sent to the political guillotine.

As for the Youths, the challenge is to pick the baton and lead and stop holding the Alsatian Dogs of the political elite.The President echos the perception of the bourgeoisie power elites, the youths must rise against it.”
