Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central in the Senate, Shehu Sani, has claimed the North is tolerating President Muhammadu Buhari administrative style because he is from the region.

Sani spoke as a guest speaker at a conference held to prepare Emerging Leaders in Kaduna on Monday.



He said the North had failed to hold Buhari accountable despite the killings and destruction of property in the region.

He lamented poverty and educational backwardness in the North, calling on the President to urgently intervene.

Sani also called on Buhari to address rising poverty and educational challenges facing the region and the country.

The former All Progressives Congress chief said, “The North is tolerant of bad government because Buhari is in government and he is from the North.

“When power move to the South, the North is good at holding leaders to account and when it moves to the North, we keep silent.

“We are shy. We are cautious. We are afraid of telling our own that the road in the North is bad. We are more courageous to tell the truth when the President doesn’t come from our region.

“Questioning President Buhari is more sympathetic when people are killed in the South-West than in the North, and this is because, they (South) are holding him to account. Here in the North, you don’t because they are shy. They believe he is infallible and that he cannot be called to question.”

Sani added, “If 50 people are killed in Katsina and the representative of the state is not ready to stand up in the Senate to talk about his people being killed, then it will go on and nobody will know. But if (Pa Reuben) Fasoranti’s daughter is killed and a representative from Fasoranti stood up and say I Senator blah blah stand up to condemn the murder, the nation and the world will know.


“But if your people are dying here and the people you elected are afraid of being embarrassed and they don’t want to be categorized as been disloyal and be seen in the bad book, they will kill as many as possible and the perception of people outside is that all is well. So, the North must not be docile because one of their own is in office.

“For this country to survive, President Buhari must listen to the voices of reason. You may not like the face of Wole Soyinka, Balarabe Musa, and Obasanjo, but read through the contents of what they have written and see where adjustments can be made.”

Just imagine! So you all are tolerating cluelessness, incompetency and all the ills associated with Buhari because he is one of your own yet wouldnt tolerate others?

God why? Any wonder Nigeria has never made any meaningful progress under these idiots.

Thank God that the president at this time is a Muslim if not this Shiites case would HV been viewed from another perspective in the north.

So far, so good

Trash as usual

Buhari has more critic in the North than the South

People are afraid of speaking out do to their corrupt past deeds

From releasing hundreds of Boko Haram members and a General coming out to say that they can become future president of this country..... despite killing thousands of innocent civilians and soldiers, to Fulani vigilante in the south west, to Shiites and police face off.
To be frank, I'm tired of this country already.

Shehu Sani...so because the North is tolerating Buhari, Nigeria should now burn due to his inadequacy. ...

because he promises to deal with igbos n christians

God punish Buhari n d supporters kill urslf if u b Buhari supporters as u dey read this post awon ode di di rin

True

Buhari is a failure, will be a failure and always a failure!!

Ok

Nigeria will be great again......in our lifetime.

He is being tolerated due to tribal and religious sentiments, they would rather suffer and die than go against a man whom they think is passionate about Islam and not their general well-being

In the end, everything will still boomerang on the North. Buhari came into power with an agenda, a Northern Muslim agenda to take back what he/they 'perceived' to be lost in the preceding years of 'southern' rule. The irony is that he has left the more weighty issue of raging insecurity in the same North to concentrate his efforts in fighting the 'other muslims'(shiites) and trying to move the nation's common wealth to his region. In the end, na dead body go chop the money?

Gibberish!

they should keep tolerating and supporting him with their blood
