Former Senator and rights activist, Shehu Sani, has urged the North to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Sani, who spoke in an interview with journalists in Kaduna on Monday, said the North appreciated the progress made so far under President Tinubu.
“For those of us from this part (North) of the country, we appreciate the progress made so far by this present government and for those of them who had the opportunity to do better and they failed, we tell them that they should apologise for the wrong they have done to the people of the North,” he said.
The activist charged the North not to allow themselves be incited against a government that is doing far better than the one that came from their side, adding that they should not be incited against the President who had supported their own for eight years in power.
According to him, Nigeria is not just a country but one that came from horrible and terrible experiences as a nation.
“And we ought to learn from our past experiences in order not to repeat the same experience. So I want to call on the people to caution the elements who had the opportunity to turn the North to paradise but left it as hell but today such elements are crying foul for no reason other than that they have been excluded from the government.
“So their grievances are about their own personal interests and not about the people, not about the North, not about the masses, not about insecurity and governance. However, everybody has the right to voice out his opinions but it shouldn’t be done in such a way to burn down the country,” he added.
