Following the report that the Arewa Consultative Forum had insisted to retain power in 2023, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has told the North to forget about power in 2023.
Speaking in Minna, Niger State over the weekend, the former lawmaker stressed that the North has had its fair share under Buhari.
Stressing that it was “too premature” to start talking about Buhari’s successor, Sani reminded those making such calls that what keeps a nation together is equity and fairness.
He said: “My own position is that the North has had its own fair share of leadership under President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Anybody who is saying power should remain in the North even after Buhari is simply laying a landmine for the destruction of our country.
“We should understand that it is not simply about winning an election that keeps a nation, it is about being able to stabilize and balance all the forces.”
President General of the forum, Yerima Shettima had claimed that the Buhari administration has been hijacked by the South-West.
