The elders’ forum had expressed strong opposition to the planned relocation, suggesting that it posed a threat to the economy of the North.

In a post on his official Twitter handle, Sani acknowledged the elders’ right to freely express their opinions as citizens and elders, as well as their right to challenge any perceived act of unconstitutionality. However, he questioned the morality of their actions, highlighting their silence during the eight years when their son was in power as the President.

Sani’s post raised pointed questions about the elders’ stance on issues such as terrorism, kidnapping, and looting of the nation’s treasury that occurred during the tenure of their kinsman as President. He questioned whether the elders were only willing to speak truth to power when their kinsmen were not in positions of authority.

The criticism from Shehu Sani underscores the complex dynamics of regional and ethnic considerations in Nigerian politics. It highlights the importance of consistency in holding leaders accountable, regardless of their regional or ethnic affiliations. The post stimulates a broader conversation about the moral responsibility of leaders and elders, emphasizing the need for principled stances on governance and national issues.
