NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has made a fresh appeal to the people of the North to continue supporting the government of President Bola Tinubu.
According to Sani, the north voted massively in the 2023 elections to bring Tinubu to power and shouldn’t turn their backs on him after making him the President of Nigeria.
The former lawmaker urged the region to support the reforms of the Tinubu government amidst reports of opposition from the region on the controversial Tax Reform Bills introduced by the current administration.
Sani made the submission during an event, as seen in a video circulating on social media.
He added that President Tinubu has given the North several major positions in his government.
The former federal lawmaker also observed that the North is blessed with many natural resources.
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.
