Shehu Sani blasts his northern brothers over call for protest amid rising kidnappings Former Kaduna State Senator, Shehu Sani, has strongly criticized his northern counterparts for their recent calls to protest in the face of escalating insecurity in Abuja and other parts of northern Nigeria.
Sani, reacting to the calls prompted by the tragic killing of Najeebah Al-Kadriyar by terrorists, pointed out the inconsistency in their response to security issues.
Sani stated that many of his brothers in the north were silent for eight years, turning a blind eye to the bloodshed and kidnappings that plagued the region. He accused his northern brothers of prioritizing the defense of the former president over addressing the plight of their own people. He said “his northern brothers ignored the corpses of their brothers and sisters and were more interested in defending their president.”
He wrote: “Many of them kept quiet and condone the bloodshed and kidnappings in the North for eight years.They called us all sorts of names in their efforts at defending failure. They ignored the corpses of their brothers and sisters and were more interested in defending their president. They were silent when about 63,111 persons were killed,double that number were kidnapped, including 1,680 students.
They lost their voice because the person at the helm then was their kinsman.They found their voice today because the person at the helm now is not their kinsman.”
Recall that Najeebah Al-Kadriyar, a student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, who was kidnapped alongside her father and siblings in Abuja, by bandits was gruesomely murdered
