Senator Shehu Sani has faulted former president, Olusegun Obasanjo for criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari.
Obasanjo recently said President Buhari is weak for not signing the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (ACfTA).
He, however, expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would sign it if he wins the 2019 presidential election.
Reacting to the comment, Senator Sani said: “African continental free trade is a great idea if African states are locally producing and not importing goods from US, Europe and Asia.”
He added that, “the President is right for refusing to sign a trade deal that will only open our country to imports.”
