Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has attributed the silence of Northern Nigerians during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to a culture of nepotism and favoritism.
He stated this during Channels Television’s “Politics Today” programme.
Sani revealed that many key appointments were given to individuals from Katsina (Buhari’s state), including the Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and several other positions.
Sani also pointed out that military and paramilitary appointments were skewed in favour of the northern region, citing examples such as the Controller General of Immigration, Comptroller General of Customs, Commandant General of Civil Defense, and Chairman of the Federal Road Safety Corps, among others.
“The DG of SSS, Daura was from Katsina state, the DG of NIA, Rufai was from Katsina state, the MPA, my sister Hadiza, she’s from Katsina state, Director of Federal Mortgage Bank, Katsina state, SMEDAN, Katsina state, FRCN Katsina state, NIMET Katsina state, NIMASA Katsina state, Railway Corporation, Katsina state, all those things, you don’t talk of Chairman of federal civil service about 30 (of them) We don’t have time, I can state all of them. All from Katsina state,” he said.
According to Sani, these appointments were not challenged by Northern Nigerians because they benefited from the system.
He contrasted this with the current situation, where Southern Nigerians are speaking out against perceived lopsided appointments by President Bola Tinubu, saying that if the situation were reversed, Northerners would likely have been just as vocal in their criticism.
