Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central
Senator, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to exclude other parts of
Nigeria in his key appointments on the basis that they did not vote for the All
Progressives Congress, APC, during the just-concluded elections.
He warned that doing so will
amount to “simply feeding the anarchy, feeding the secessionists, feeding the
merchant of crisis in this country”.
The former lawmaker made the call
while speaking with newsmen in Minna, Niger State, after he delivered a lecture
during a one-day “Niger Open Forum” over the weekend.
Sani said: “If you exclude the
Eastern or the South-South part of the country, or even the North-Central part
of Nigeria because they didn’t vote for you, you are simply feeding the
anarchy, feeding the secessionists, feeding the merchant of crisis in this
country.
“It is expected that when you win
election, you are for everybody. We have a pattern in this country where people
are excluded and marginalised out of government on the basis that their ethnic
or religious groups did not vote for the government in power, that is very
dangerous things to do. After election, you need a country to rule.”
Speaking on the appointment of
ministers, Sani said: “I think he should not repeat the mistake of 2015, the
most important thing for him now is to pick his cabinet immediately and get the
ground running.”
