Former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has claimed that the recent visit by some prominent Northern politicians to former President Muhammadu Buhari was an attempt to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Senator Sani, on his verified
Facebook page on Monday, said, the same Buhari who led Nigeria for eight years
left the North worse than he met it, adding that it’s too early to forget.
He wrote, “The recent visits by
some prominent Northern politicians to Daura appear to be the usual Eid homage,
but looking deeper and beyond the facade, it’s surreptitiously a new attempt to
build a strong northern alliance using ex-President Buhari as a rallying point
to challenge and evict President Tinubu’s government in 2027.
“It’s a regrouping of Northern
political forces for the next general election. A project that will eventually
kiss the dust.
“They want to resurrect
Buhari’s political charm, fanaticism, and mobilize the gullible to another
hollow and bewildering end. They want to stock up and light up the Arewa
sentiment without considering the inferno it would eventually generate.”
“By the time he left power,
poverty and insecurity were at their peak more than at any time in Nigeria’s
history.
“They had power and wasted it;
what do they want to do with it again?
“A Southerner has been in power
for just one year. It’s too early for the desperate and power-hungry northern
elite to start plotting. The South never did that to Buhari. Their intended
action has the capacity to ruin the democratic process and wreck the fragile
unity of the country when the South is awakened to this reality.
“Their obsession with power is condemnable. Opposition to Tinubu from the point of policies, promises, and programs of his administration is a democratic right of any Nigerian. People have the right to speak and criticize the government.
“But attempts to whip up
Northern sentiments to achieve their political ends is a dangerous political
experiment and expedition at this material time. No serious southerner
challenged Buhari for eight years; these power-drunk Northern politicians are
dragging the region into a new political journey through a landmine.
“Buhari’s reign ensured
nepotistic placement, installation, and dominance of Northerners at strategic
positions of authority and power for eight years. Results had shown that they
only enriched themselves, pillaged the economy of the country, and pauperized
our country.
“The Daura homage of the
disgruntled and the obsessed will fail. Our people in the North should reject
these faces and their plots.
“They have nothing to offer.
From the abandoned Baro Port, Ajaokuta, Lake Chad Basin refilling, and Mambilla
hydropower, they failed. They came to power when the North was in the hands of
terrorists and left it in the joint hands of terrorists and bandits. The
Northern Talakawa should reject their antics,” he said.
