Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central in the Senate, Shehu Sani, has claimed that the North is tolerating President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s style of government, because he is one of their own.<\/p>\n
Sani stated this when he spoke as a guest speaker, at a conference held to prepare Emerging Leaders in Kaduna on Monday.<\/p>\n
He noted that the North had failed to hold Buhari accountable, despite the killings and destruction of property in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe North is tolerant of bad government because Buhari is in government and he is from the North.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen power move to the South, the North is good at holding leaders to account and when it moves to the North, we keep silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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\u2019t come from our region.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuestioning 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\u2019t because they are shy. They believe he is infallible and that he cannot be called to question,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sani added, \u201cIf 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if your people are dying here and the people you elected are afraid of being embarrassed and they don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
