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.”

Nigerians among other investors in the United States of America, USA, economy, are expected to pay more in fees for the USA’s EB-5 immigrant investors’ visa program in the coming months as the new minimum amount is likely to increase by 170 percent to $1.35 million from $500,000.

The United State Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) disclosed this in a press statement announcing a seminar for investors on the USA EB-5 immigrant investors’ visa program. According to USCIS, “The program allows an investor and all their immediate family to become permanent residence (Green Card) and after six years they get their capital back only if they engage the right Regional Center and attorney.

” USCIS noted that as at December 2018, 113 Nigerians had signed up for the program. Five of them invested in $1million non-Target Employment Area, TEA, while 108 invested $500,000 in TEA. The statement says: “Yes, the alert hike in program fees is real and likely to go up by 170 percent. “For long time coming, the USCIS through United States Congress have been proposing the idea of increasing the 1990 investment fee. Just last June 29th 2019 US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) completed its review of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization.

It is expected that the new minimum investment amount will likely go up to $1.35 million from current $500,000 and increase as much for $1.8 million from current $1 million. It is believed once the final rule is published in the Federal Register the usual time for a legislative change to take effect is 30-60 days. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was created by US Congress in 1990 by the Immigration Act to provide a method for eligible Immigrant Investors to become lawful permanent residents with their spouse and children below the age of twenty-one (21).

Restructure the Country and see if things like this will bother those on the other side.

lol. They don't know what 11k means....... Fashola said it will take him 6 months to fix power but it's over four years..... is that not incompetence?

How people still give BVN details over the Phone baffles me. Even if you are talking to a bank representative do not give him/her your Bvn or card details even if he/she asks you.

Hope they fish out the other beneficiaries.

Disgusting...

Is for those who never knew her. She is top in the business. Ushebebe wasn't joking

That's crazy... some trolls( Jobless lazy youths) will still bash her when she is just having fun.

Wow! Good Children!

The Pastor has not done enough to clear his name. He denied raping the lady which i agree, but he did not deny sleeping with her. From the scenario, i believe there was consensual sex because it did not happen once, and since the lady knew she was always been raped by the pastor why not stop going to his Church at that point if you did not want to make it public then. The issue now is, if she was truly 16 when the sex thing happened then it's still a crime.
