The remaining 30 per cent, Sani said, should be attributed to President
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for what he called his sectional
leadership and neglect of the North.
The CRCN boss described as a “waste” the number of years ex-heads of state and presidents of northern extraction had piloted the affairs of Nigeria. He argued that they had not only failed to empower the region but ruined it educationally, socially as well as economically.

The CRCN boss described as a “waste” the number of years ex-heads of state and presidents of northern extraction had piloted the affairs of Nigeria. He argued that they had not only failed to empower the region but ruined it educationally, socially as well as economically.
He said the past leaders such as
Gen. Yakubu Gowon, Shehu Shagari, Generals Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim
Babangida, the late Sani Abacha, Abdulsalami Abubakar, as well as the
late Umaru Yar’Adua, all from the region only left behind trails of
poverty, discords among the people of diverse faiths and ethnicity
rather than development.
Sani, who is aspiring for the seat of the Kaduna Central Senatorial District on the platform of APC, argued that President Jonathan only compounded the woes of the region while past leaders of the North simply left a region whose future was in doubt.
The activist said this while addressing sacked and unpaid workers of
textile industries in the North who had gathered on the premises of the
Kaduna Textile Limited, in Kaduna State on Saturday.Sani, who is aspiring for the seat of the Kaduna Central Senatorial District on the platform of APC, argued that President Jonathan only compounded the woes of the region while past leaders of the North simply left a region whose future was in doubt.
He added that the President only empowered the people of the South-South to the detriment of others.
He said, “70 per cent of the North is destroyed by northern leaders and 30 per cent is being destroyed by Jonathan. We must take the blame and must tell ourselves the truth. Northern leaders had the opportunity to industrialise, to educate and to uplift the social standard of the region but they left behind a trail of poverty, of discord among people of diverse faiths and ethnic affinities.
“They left behind a region backward educationally and industrially. They left behind a region whose future is in doubt. For over three decades when northerners were in power they used the opportunity to empower traditional rulers and some religious leaders as well as making the rich, richer and pauperised the common man.
“They were not able to do what Jonathan is doing by empowering the young and the Niger Delta militants who are being enriched today. It was a wasted opportunity which I believe should serve as a lesson next time when power is back to the region.”
