Senator Shehu Sani has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not popular because his policies were yet to produce positive results.
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in Senate, said this when he was a guest on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
He said Tinubu was setting a standard in Nigeria by allowing even people from the South West to criticize him.
According to the former senator, “when I stood up in the parliament to speak about the insecurity in the north, I faced serious resistance from senators from northern part of Nigeria.
“You were expected to be quite and embrace whatever it is because the president came from your region.
“Any attempt by you to raise alarm on the killings in the north or poverty in the north or the out-of-school children issue when Buhari was there, you would be reminded that you should not damage the image of the president because you come from that part of the country.
“Tinubu is embarking on a project he knows very well he will be unpopular. You either do two things: please people by doing what the people want, or to look at the future of the country where we are heading to and lose some popularity or votes for you to achieve it.
Tinubu will continue to be unpopular untill the results of the reform start coming out.”
