Abaribe accues Buhari of favouring Northerners

By Ibrahim Adeleke

The former Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of favouring the northerners more than the southerners in his government.

The Senator blasted the President over alleged regionalism when he featured on Arise TV on Monday, saying that Buhari has made other regions less important.

“The APC government-led by President Muhammadu Buhari was not fair. He was totally unfair to the people, who are not from what he claims is his own place.

“At the time I was saying that, I was talking for the rest of Nigeria and I will continue to advocate for Nigeria,” he said.

The lawmaker said he ignored the All Progressives Congress, after he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party due to his ideology.

He said: “If I was non-ideological, I would go to APC.

“If you have the major ideology, it will now be the conservative APC and the progressives non-APC.

“I’m still in the non-APC, so I’m ideologically-inclined that I will not be part of the hegemony.”
