Senator urges President Buhari to quit….

President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged by a Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani to step down from the position of a petroleum minister.

Mr. Sani urged the president to appoint someone who is accountable to the position.

The Senator made the call in a statement on Thursday.

He said because of the demands of the presidential office, Mr. Buhari has limited time to control the oil industry.

“President Buhari should disengage from being a Petroleum Minister and appoint a substantive minister whom the nation can hold accountable to the happenings in the nation oil industry,” he said.

“The President position as a minister can drag him into issues in the oil sector of which he has limited time to attend to. A broom immersed in oil cannot sweep clean.”

The call is coming amid a contract scandal that has engulfed the petroleum ministry.
