A former senator, who represented Kaduna Central, Senatorial District, ShehuSani, has criticised past Northern political leaders for failing to leverage their time in power to transform the region.
Speaking at a press briefing at his Kaduna residence, Sani expressed disappointment over the underdevelopment of the North despite having produced two presidents since the return to democracy in 1999.
He pointed out that the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and former President MuhammaduBuhari – both from Katsina state – held the presidency for a total of 11 years, yet the region remained underdeveloped.
