He lamented poverty and educational backwardness in the North, calling on the President to urgently intervene.
Sani also called on Buhari to address rising poverty and educational challenges facing the region and the country.
The former All Progressives Congress chief said, “The North is tolerant of bad government because Buhari is in government and he is from the North.

“When power move to the South, the North is good at holding leaders to account and when it moves to the North, we keep silent.
“We are shy. We are cautious. We are afraid of telling our own that the road in the North is bad. We are more courageous to tell the truth when the President doesn’t come from our region.
