Shehu Sani Accuses Nigeria of Double Standards Against Igbos
Kaduna Senator Slams Rotimi Amaechi's Civil War Allegation
Former Senator and Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has criticized Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, over his recent comments regarding a potential civil war in Nigeria.
Amaechi, who is also a former Minister of Transportation, had warned that the Federal High Court's judgment against the leadership of his party could lead to a civil war if not properly managed. The statement came after the court nullified the National Working Committee led by former Senate President, David Mark, and invalidated the process that produced former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
Sani, in a recent interview on Mainland 98.3fm, argued that Nigeria's handling of threats of political, religious, and ethnic violence, as well as issues concerning peace, security, justice, and national unity, is not consistent.
According to Sani, the nation and the general public treat threats of violence as normal if they are made by individuals from other regions, but react differently when the threats come from the Igbo-speaking South-East region. "This is how the country selectively, disproportionately, and discriminately acts on matters of peace, security, justice, and national unity," he stated.
Sani further accused the Nigerian government and the public of showing double standards when it comes to dealing with threats of violence.
The Kaduna Senator emphasized that the nation should treat all threats of violence equally, regardless of the region they come from.
Sani's comments come after Amaechi's statement, which sparked concerns about Nigeria's ability to handle potential unrest following the court's ruling.
