Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, has warned Northern leaders to abandon their plot to remove President Bola Tinubu from office in the 2027 presidential elections.
In an interview with Arise Television that ZINGTIE viewed, Sani gave this warning, stating that such a move might undermine Nigeria’s unity.
Instead of attempting to increase their political influence, the public commentator advised Northern leaders to focus on the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration that will benefit the Northern region of Nigeria.
Recall that among other issues, Northern Nigeria has been struggling with poverty and insecurity.
“There is evidence of rallying of forces, regrouping of forces- political forces from the North- trying to use former President Buhari as a rallying point in order to evict the government of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and they hope to resurrect his political chance in the house of the masses and portray the government as one that has been undermining the North and one that has not been living up to its campaign promises to the region being that it has its highest votes from there. And I must warn that attempts to do that can create a serious problem for our country.
“Buhari has been in power for eight years and there has never been any serious Southerner that challenged his own government in terms of trying to remove him from office.
“And secondly, we should know that before you think of power, we should think of the whole country. We should be thinking of a united country, a peaceful country. Nigeria is still a fragile nation.
“What will happen if Southern politicians decide to also form the idea of uniting themselves and making a position that this is their stand? There will be no Nigeria.
“So, they should, in the interest of the unity of the country and the future of the country, sacrifice their own personal ambition at least for 2027, and the North will have the moral right to ask for power after the second term of this administration,” Sani said.
He emphasised how important it is for Northern leaders to deal with issues that affect their region.
Sani, on the other hand, urged Tinubu’s administration to carry out restructuring, noting that it will provide Nigerians with a systemic chance to confront the issues of underdevelopment.
