Shehu Sani, a former federal senator, has called on the North to stay in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to Sani, they shouldn’t let people who didn’t vote for the government run it.
This comes as the former lawmaker pleaded with the North to back the Tinubu administration’s constructive reforms.
Following the North’s resistance to Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills, which are presently before the National Assembly, Sani made his remarks in a video that was seen.
According to reports, Tinubu’s government’s tax reform proposals have drawn criticism from a number of regions around the nation.
While some contend that the bills will overburden Nigerians, others claim that they are directed towards the northern area.
According to Sani, the northern region of the country is the most fortunate in the entire country.
“The northern region of the country is the most fortunate in the entire country,” he stated. We occupy over 65% of Nigeria’s total land area.
Nearly 70% of Nigeria’s 235 rivers are found in the country’s northern region. We are fortunate to be able to grow cotton, whereas other countries depend on it.
Some countries depend on sugarcane, but we are fortunate to be able to grow it. We’re sleeping on a treasure trove. No natural resource that exists anywhere else in the globe is not found beneath the surface of our northern soil.
Therefore, the question is: do you still rely on other people to save you? Your capacity to support yourself depends on your future, your dignity, your reputation, and your self-respect.
If my memory serves me correctly, the North installed this regime. Therefore, why should you upset a newborn that you gave birth to?

“You shouldn’t let people who didn’t vote for this government run it. You brought them to the workplace by using your words.
“The topics that are on the table should be the subject of your demands. The Minister of Education has been there up to this point. This is where the Chief of Defense always comes from. This is where the Minister of Commerce, the Minister of Information, the National Security Advisor, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister of Defense are from.
“People from this region of the country hold all of the important positions that the government assigns.”
