FCT, Abuja – Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, said the recent visits by some prominent northern politicians to the former president, Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina state is a new attempt to build a strong northern alliance.
Sani said the politicians want to use Buhari as a rallying point to challenge and unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government in 2027.
He described the visits as a “regrouping of Northern political forces for the next general election”
The human rights activist stated this via his Facebook page.
The former federal lawmaker said they are trying to light up the Arewa sentiment without considering the inferno it would eventually generate.
Sani warned that their intended action could wreck the fragile unity of Nigeria when the south is awakened to it.
The outspoken politician said the attempts to whip up Northern sentiments to achieve their political ends is a dangerous political experiment.
He said northern politicians’ obsession with power is condemnable.
