Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has declared that the people of the southeast can’t be blamed for staunchly supporting the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Sani who made the submission in a post on Saturday noted that historically, other regions in the country also supported some candidates from their region.
The former lawmaker emphasized the support of the southwest for the late Chief MKO Abiola as well as recently, the support of the northerners for former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He, therefore, concluded that anyone accusing the southeast of fully supporting Obi has either forgotten history or chooses to ignore same.
He wrote on Twitter: “If history matters;any South Westerner who opposed Abiola was considered a Traitor. Any Northerner who opposed Buhari was condemned as an unbeliever. With Peter, the South East are simply toeing that line of history we have either forgotten or ignored. Have a blessed Weekend.”
