“Leave The South To Complete Its 8 Years!”—Shehu Sani Challenges Opposition To Field Heavyweights In 2027
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has advocated that the Southern region should be permitted to complete a full eight-year presidential tenure before power shifts back to the North in 2031.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sani clarified that while rotational presidency is not explicitly written into the Nigerian Constitution, upholding it serves the interests of equity, justice, peace, and national unity. He drew comparisons to former President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years in office (2015–2023), noting that the South did not mount a serious challenge to unseat him during that period.
Key Positions Shared by Shehu Sani:
-
Call for Southern Candidates: Sani urged all political parties to field Southern heavyweights for the 2027 presidential election.
-
Party-Specific Suggestions: He specifically proposed that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) should field Rotimi Amaechi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) should field Peter Obi, and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) should field Seyi Makinde to slug it out for a single four-year term.
-
Atiku’s Constitutional Right: Sani emphasized that his stance does not bar former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from contesting, noting that Atiku possesses the constitutional right to run for any election.
-
The Fate of Rotation: He warned that if Atiku wins in 2027, it would effectively signal the permanent end of rotational presidency in Nigeria and spark bitter resentment from the Southern region.
-
A Smooth Path for 2031: Sani concluded that allowing the South its full eight years would pave the way for an unchallengeable Northern transition by 2031.
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has claimed that the prolonged detention of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is a direct consequence of his actions while in power. Sani alleged that numerous individuals suffered arrests and detentions during El-Rufai’s administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Sani cautioned individuals currently holding political office to always remember that power is transient. “When you are in office, always remind yourself that it is an opportunity, and it is a very temporary opportunity for you. El-Rufai is paying the price for his irresponsibility when he was in public office,” Sani stated.
Key Highlights:
-
The Transient Nature of Power: Drawing from his own experience of spending four years in prison, Sani noted that being out of circulation naturally leads to losing friends and allies.
-
Allegations of Misgovernance: Sani characterized El-Rufai’s tenure between 2015 and 2023 as being marked by misgovernance, irresponsible leadership, and using state power to target and jail political opponents.
-
Criticism Over Security: Addressing remarks about Southern Kaduna, Sani argued that the previous state administration failed to adequately support security agencies to curb years of bloodshed and insecurity across the region.
