Many of them kept quiet and condoned the bloodshed and kidnappings in the North for eight years. They found their voice today because the person at the helm now is not their kinsman – Shehu Sani

Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has criticized ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, alleging an unparalleled level of insecurity in his administration. Sani conveyed this message on his Instagram account, pointing out the silence of northern stakeholders amidst increased violence.

He claimed the total casualties during Buhari’s eight-year tenure amounted to 63,111.

The former Southern Kaduna representative contended that northerners, who are now vocal, remained silent from 2015 to 2023 due to Buhari being a northerner

His post reads, “Many of them kept quiet and condoned 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.”
