Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has weighed in on the ongoing opposition summit in Ibadan, describing the gathering as a commendable initiative while raising questions about the political climate under past administrations.
Sani, in a post shared on his verified social media handle on Saturday, said the Ibadan meeting of opposition leaders reflects a functioning democratic space, but urged participants to reflect on historical realities.
“The Ibadan Opposition summit is a good talk shop. But let’s be honest with ourselves; During Buhari’s first term in office (2015-2019), Can any Governor in the North dare to host a summit of opposition leaders with the objective of ejecting him out of power?” he wrote.
His comments come amid heightened political activity in Oyo State, where key opposition figures converged for a strategic summit aimed at forging unity ahead of future electoral contests.
While acknowledging the significance of the gathering, Sani’s remarks appeared to draw a contrast between the current political environment and that of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that in what is being described as a major political turning point, leaders of Nigeria’s opposition parties have unanimously agreed to present a single presidential candidate against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming 2027 general election.
The landmark resolution was reached at a high-profile opposition summit held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, where top political figures gathered under the theme: “That We May Work Together for a United Opposition to Sustain Our Democracy”.
The summit brought together some of Nigeria’s most influential opposition voices, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi; and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
After intense deliberations, the leaders resolved to set aside political differences and personal ambitions in favor of a united front aimed at unseating the current administration in 2027.
