Protest: Tinubu not problem or solution to issues confronting north – Shehu Sani

Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani says President Bola
Tinubu is not the problem or solution to the challenges confronting the region
although he must be held to account.



 



Instead, Sani said northern leaders must take lessons from
the recent violent uprising in the region.



 



He suggested that the governors, religious, traditional
leaders and the intellectuals of the region must converge and urgently come out
with an implementable master plan to tackle the decades of endemic poverty and
underdevelopment facing the region.



 



Sani posted on X: “Northern leaders must take lessons from
the recent violent uprising in the region. The President must be held to
account, but he is not the Problem or the Solution to the Problem.



The
Governors, political, Business, religious, traditional leaders and the
intellectuals of the region must converge and urgently come out with an
implementable master plan to tackle the decades of endemic poverty and
destitution, Illiteracy, Chronic underdevelopment, abject neglect, religious
extremism and terrorism that has demonised the region and impoverished its
people.

Guns and tanks can suppress the flame but not extinguish the fire.The
monster in our homes was not created in a day.The North should look at the
mirror and not the telescope.We have the cattle to build our wealth, we
shouldn’t be looking for a scapegoat.”
