It’s hypocritical for northerners to criticise Tinubu over insecurity – Shehu Sani

Former Lawmaker, Shehu Sani says it will take some time for the measures put in place by President Bola Tinubu to address the ubiquitous and perennial insecurity that plagues the nation to yield result.

He said the criticism of Tinubu over the deepening security crisis in many part of the country is unfair and unreasonable.

In a post on his verified Facebook page on Saturday, Shehu sani berated those who looked away and maintained a deafening silence while armed non-state actors unleashed terror on citizens under former president Muhammadu Buhari but are now leading the charge in criticism of Tinubu.

Shehu Sani said, “The hypocrisy of many people in the North is how they tolerated insecurity in the North during the eight years of Buhari and are now voicing out against it under Tinubu.

“It’s too early to forget how they shielded the past administration from criticism, it became almost a sin or taboo to criticize the past administration. At one time, all the Nation’s security, intelligence and defence apparatuses were headed by Northerners”

He disclosed that he was chastised and castigated for speaking about insecurity in the north by his colleagues in the senate.

Sani submitted that it was wrong to expect Tinubu to solve insecurity in six months when Buhari could not do so in eight years.

“Each time I stood on the floor of the Senate to speak about the kidnappings and killings in the North, I only got insulted even by the Kaduna State Government and the ruling party.

“The North should look inward and find solutions to its security challenges. What the man from Daura has not solved for 8 years, the man from Lagos can’t solve in 6 months, even though he has the responsibility and obligation to tackle it.”
