Kaduna Governor Uba Sani says Northern Nigeria’s decline didn’t start today — and that every leader from the region in the last 20 years, including Buhari and El-Rufai, owes the people an apology.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Uba Sani blames past Northern leaders for today’s hardship.
- Says poverty, exclusion in the North have deep roots.
- Points to social intervention failures despite big budgets.
- Challenges ex-leaders who now criticise current governance.
- Urges collective reflection, not blame-shifting.
In an unusually direct take, Uba Sani holds nothing back. By saying every Northern political figure from the past two decades should apologise, he's calling out not just individual leaders but a broken system. His remarks tap into deep frustration among Northerners grappling with poverty and insecurity, even after years of "northern rule." It's a bold move — one that may reset conversations ahead of 2027.
Is this the start of a political reckoning in the North? Or just another round of finger-pointing?
