Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has taken to social media to accuse a ‘Retired Kaduna Emperor’ of trying to cause a crisis in Nigeria.
The former lawmaker acknowledged that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is trying its best to appease the Christian community in the country but that a politician in Kaduna is making inciting utterances capable of unsettling the country.
While warning that Nigeria is still a fragile country, Senator Sani said it is left for the incumbent President to allow the individual to succeed in his gimmicks.
He tweeted: “The Government of Tinubu is trying to Calm and appease the Christian population in the country while the retired Kaduna Emperor is still stocking the embers of religious bitterness, hate and strife with his inflammatory utterances.
“He wants the country to be run with malice and vindictiveness against a certain section and against a certain faith, as he once did during his divisive and tragic tenure in Kaduna.
“It’s left for the President to allow him to trigger a crisis, tear or incinerate the country. Nigeria is still a fragile country, we must be careful.”
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State governorship election petition Tribunal resumes hearing today, Wednesday, July 12, 2023.
Earlier on Tuesday, a witness, Bonet Gwaza, appeared before the court and presented the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) report for elections held across the 23 local government areas in the state.
OsunDailyNG understands that among other exhibits presented to the court is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) form EC40G for the Igabi West constituency.
Gwaza, who is said to be a system analyst working with the INEC, also presented to Justice Victor Oviawie-led panel the voters’ register for Kauru, Lere, Zaria and Igabi local government areas.
However, the presentation of the exhibits to the tribunal by the representative of INEC followed the subpoena application filed by the legal team of the 1st and 2nd petitioners, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its governorship candidate, Isa Ashiru.
Having received submissions from those concerned, the court subsequently adjourned the hearing to today for the continuation of cross-examination of the witness.
