North can’t retain power, punish Igbo forever, says Shehu Sani

The immediate past senator, who represented Kaduna Central in the Eighth National Assembly, Shehu Sani, who reacting to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s recent call for abolition of power rotation, said it would be unfair for the North to hold grip of power in Nigeria and others being denied of such privilege after eight years of Buhari’s government.  

He said this yesterday when he paid a Sallah homage to the first Executive Governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji AbdulKadir Balarabe Musa, said categorically that southerners, particularly the South-West, did everything possible to support the northern candidate to emerge as the president in 2015, hence the need to relinquish power.

He said that it would be ungrateful for the North to attempt retaining power in 2023. He further cautioned that southerners of Igbo extraction could not continue to be punished for the offence they were not architect of.

Recently, Governor El-Rufai ox described the zoning of political offices as a barrier to political equality.
