The senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen. Shehu Sani has described the nation as being under a “cloudy authoritarian political atmosphere”.
According to him, the powers-that-be under the atmosphere equate dissent to disloyalty.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) senator made this known in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Saturday evening.
Sani, a vocal critic of his own party, is locked in a political battle with his State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
He has also openly condemned some of the decisions of his party leaders.
The senator, who is renowned for communicating in proverbs and metaphors on social media, tweeted, “We are in a cloudy authoritarian political atmosphere where ‘democrats and progressives’ holding levers of power equate dissent to disloyalty and critics are categorized as enemies of the state or Government.”
