A Senator of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Shehu Sani has criticized the report of the Governor Nasir El-Rufai -led committee which was constituted by the party to look into the issue of restructuring.

While describing the report which was submitted to the National Working Committee of the party on Thursday as a political gimmick, the lawmaker said the report was aimed at diverting the attention of Nigerians away from the damning letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

His words: “El-Rufai’s APC restructuring committee is self-serving, a political gimmick aimed at diverting attention away from Obasanjo’s letter. It’s also a campaign document for 2019. It’s not a paper worthy of the paper on which it was written,” Senator Sani said.

He maintained that there would be no restructuring before and after 2019 as El-Rufai and the current administration were anti-restructuring having made it repeatedly clear that the problem was the process.

He continued: “When eventually the El-Rufai restructuring committee report reaches the Senate, it will be photocopied to 109 pieces and shared to the Senators to use as toilet paper. If there are extra copies, it will be shared to suya and akara hawkers outside the National Assembly to use it to wrap their products.

“El-Rufai’s restructuring report will be shredded and modified to serve as a good toilet paper for senators. If there’s seriousness in restructuring, it could have started in 2015.
