2019: What will happen to southwest if Buhari wins - Shehu Sani

- Senator Sani predicted that presidency will be given to the southwest in 2023 if President Buhari wins the forthcoming election

- Sani added that the southwest will restructure Nigeria if it gets the presidency

- The Kaduna Central senator said Buhari-led administration cannot implement restructuring because the president is not in tune with

Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central at the upper legislative chamber, has predicted that the presidency will be given to the southwest geopolitical zone if President Muhammadu Buhari wins the February 16 presidential election.

In an interview with Premium Times, Senator Sani talked about the trending issues surrounding the Nigerian political sector, particularly regarding the 2019 elections.

Sani said: “If Buhari wins the 2019 election, the power would certainly go back to the southwest. What has been put in place by northern leaders and the government? What preparation has been made for what will happen after 2023?”

The Kaduna Central senator also stated his assurance that the southwest will move for the restructuring of Nigeria if it gets the presidency in 2023

“There is no doubt that if power moves to the southwest part of Nigeria, the first and the major agenda for Nigeria will be restructuring. Have the nineteen other states in Nigeria prepared themselves for that restructuring? None,” he said.

He added that the current administration cannot implement restructuring because “President Muhammadu Buhari is not for restructuring”.

His words: "The government of today mentioned restructuring as part of its campaign promises I 2015 but they deceived the people and never made it a major issues until when election came closer and then in August, a funny committee was set up to be chaired by the governor of Kaduna State.

“We shouldn’t deceive ourselves. The body language, the statement and the thinking of President Muhammadu Buhari is not for restructuring. It’s never for restructuring but I believe that restructuring will be a major agenda when power shifts to the South West and as for the North, there doesn’t appear to be any plan or programme in place for the region to adjust itself to the reality of restructuring.

“When you have a southwesterner as a president, I foresee a serious battle between the southwest and the north on what restructuring should be. When the southwest gets control of its executive presidency, the north will depend on the National Assembly and the judiciary for protection but unfortunately, these are the institutions now, that have been desecrated.

“Restructuring cannot happen under President Muhammadu Buhari. It is not possible because he is not in tune with it.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Sani, on Thursday, February 7, reacted to the defence put up by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state following backlash over his controversial comment.

Governor El-Rufai had said during a live programme on NTA: “Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the person that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags.”

His comment had sparked off controversy and in defense, the governor said his comment was as a result of intelligence report that the PDP was trying to instigate international countries against Nigeria, and give the country a "Venezuela treatment."

The presidency also defended him saying tEl-Rufai's comment was only in defence of the country’s national interest.

Sani while expressing his view, said body bag is not a Gucci or Louis Vuitton handbag. The senator who made shared his opinion on his Twitter handle accused APC of undermining Nigeria’s democracy.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
