Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central Senatorial District, has warned people from calling Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a "drug baron" or other derogatory terms.
Although there is nothing wrong with criticizing the President-elect, Shehu Sani said on his Facebook post on Tuesday that calling him a drug baron has significant ramifications.
"There is nothing wrong with criticizing Tinubu and doubting the legitimacy of his electoral victory. So I must be careful not to imply anything negative by constantly calling him a drug baron.
“As a President-elect of our country, such tag will now be stigmatised on you and me as citizens, especially from a foreign perspective or when we travel out of the country.
“Let’s allow that drug matter to rest please.That matter has long been settled. Please pick him up on any other issues responsibly.” He wrote.
