Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator, has urged
President Muhammadu Buhari not to exclude other parts of Nigeria in his key
appointments on the basis that they did not vote for the All Progressives
Congress, APC, during the just-concluded elections.
He warned that doing so will amount to “simply feeding the
anarchy, feeding the secessionists, feeding the merchant of crisis in this
country”.
The former lawmaker made the call while speaking with
newsmen in Minna, Niger State, after he delivered a lecture during a one-day
“Niger Open Forum” over the weekend.
Sani said: “If you exclude the Eastern or the South-South
part of the country, or even the North-Central part of Nigeria because they
didn’t vote for you, you are simply feeding the anarchy, feeding the
secessionists, feeding the merchant of crisis in this country.
“It is expected that when you win election, you are for
everybody. We have a pattern in this country where people are excluded and
marginalised out of government on the basis that their ethnic or religious
groups did not vote for the government in power, that is very dangerous things
to do. After election, you need a country to rule.”
Speaking on the appointment of ministers, Sani said: “I
think he should not repeat the mistake of 2015, the most important thing for
him now is to pick his cabinet immediately and get the ground running.”
