Eight Years Of Buhari, Still No Progress – Shehu Sani Blasts Northern Leadership
Former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has criticized previous northern leaders for the persistent poverty and underdevelopment in the region.
He attributed the North’s woes — including widespread poverty, insecurity, and crumbling infrastructure — to decades of failed leadership.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking at his residence in Kaduna on Tuesday during a visit from members of the Tijjaniyya Grassroots Mobilisation and Empowerment Initiative of Nigeria, Sani accused northern elites of betraying the people who entrusted them with power.
“We had Buhari in office for eight years, but the North remained in poverty,” Sani lamented.
“Industries such as KTL, UNTL, Nortex, and Arewa Textiles were abandoned. Our leaders pursued selfish interests instead of prioritizing the people’s welfare.”
He called it “unfair and dishonest” to blame President Bola Tinubu — who has only been in office for two years — for problems that stem from years of neglect and misgovernance.
“The North’s challenges didn’t start two years ago. Leaders before Tinubu had the chance to reform education, healthcare, and security, but they failed.
Now, they’re trying to shift the blame and fool the people. Ask yourself: did the bad roads, poor hospitals, and insecurity begin just recently?”
Sani also pointed to several stalled or abandoned federal projects, including the Kaduna-Abuja road, Minna-Abuja road, Lokoja-Abuja expressway, the Ajaokuta Steel Company, and the Mambilla Power Project as evidence of deep-rooted leadership failure.
He cautioned Northerners against returning such leaders to power:
“No matter how tough things seem today, remember this — it was your own people who failed you. If those same leaders return, nothing will change.”
