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.
