Some Northern Politicians Promoting Toxic Politics, ‘Pull Him Down’ Syndrome – Gov Sani

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has opined that despite the development indices, some northern politicians are still promoting toxic politics and ‘pull him down’ syndrome.

Naija News reports that Governor Uba made the remark on Monday, during a courtesy visit by the newly elected leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) under the Chairmanship of Mamman Mike Osuman (SAN) at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.

Sani stated Northerners must take a hard look at themselves to face the truths to move the region forward, rather than indulge in endless blame games devoid of attempts at soul-searching or introspection.

Speaking further, the Governor fumed at the narrative that President Bola Tinubu was against the North, stressing that it was false, absurd and unbecoming.

He explained that Tinubu’s administration was doing its best to salvage the economic situation in the country and had been giving uncommon support to state governments in the North to address their myriad challenges.

Governor Sani also assured the ACF leadership that the region would soon overcome its current security and socio-economic challenges.

He said, “Despite the development indices, unfortunately, what people see in the North is the promotion of toxic politics, opposition for opposition’s sake, and ‘pull him down’ syndrome.

“We have failed to ask ourselves some vital questions: Where did the rain start beating the North? Who are those complicit in the underdevelopment of the North? What have we done individually and collectively to find solutions to the challenges facing the North?

“We must take a hard look at ourselves, tell ourselves some home truths, and move together to fashion a common strategy to address our developmental challenges and confront the criminals making life unbearable for our people.”
