" YOU CAN'T ABANDON TINUBU TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM"- SHEHU SANI TELLS NORTH. (PHOTO).


 “You can’t abandon Tinubu to those who didn’t vote for him’ – Shehu Sani tells North


Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has urged the North not to abandon President Bola Tinubu’s government.


Sani said they should not leave the government to others who did not vote for it.


This is even as the ex-lawmaker urged the North to support positive reforms by the Tinubu administration.


Sani’s statement, contained in a video sighted by newsmen, followed the North’s opposition to Tinubu’s Tax Reforms Bills currently before the National Assembly.


The tax reform bills initiated by Tinubu’s government have attracted criticism in several parts of the country.


Some alleged that the bills are targeted against the northern region while some argue that they will overburden Nigerians.


Sani stated that there’s no part of the country that’s so blessed like the northern part of the country.


He said: “There’s no part of the country that’s so blessed like the northern part of the country. We cover about 65% percent of the total landmass in Nigeria.


“Out of the nation’s 235 rivers, almost 70 percent are located in the northern part of Nigeria. Some nations rely on cotton, we are blessed to grow cotton.


“Some nations rely on sugarcane we are blessed with growing sugarcane. We are sleeping on a gold mine. There’s no natural resources that is found in all part of the world that’s not within the ground level of our soil here in the north.


“So, the question is: do you continue to rely, depend on salvation from others. Your reputation, your dignity, your future, and respect for your yourself is dependent on your ability to provide sustenance for yourself.


“If I’m not mistaken, this is a government the North brought into office. So why should you antagonize a baby that you delivered?


“You should not leave this government to others who did not vote for it. It’s your that used your tongue and brought them to office.


“Your demands should be on issues that on the table. Until now you have the Minister of Education. The Chief of Defence is always from here. The Minister of Commerce of Information is from here, National Security Advisor is from here, Minister of Agriculture is from here, Minister of Defence is from here.


‘All the key positions being given by government are people from this part of country.”
