Shehu Sani Slams Atiku’s US Lobbying as a Threat to Nigeria’s Image

Former Senator Shehu Sani has criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s decision to hire a Washington-based lobbying firm to circulate US legal documents on President Tinubu. He described the move as unnecessary and warned that exporting domestic political disputes abroad could undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty and diplomatic standing. Sani called on all political actors to resolve their differences through Nigeria’s democratic and legal institutions. He urged stakeholders to put national unity and the country’s reputation above partisan interests.
