Shehu Sani: Tinubu Must Succeed to Prove Democracy Advocates Right
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, emphasized that President Bola Tinubu has a duty to succeed, asserting that Tinubu’s failure would indicate that those who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria. Sani made these remarks at a special dinner held at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja on Wednesday to mark Democracy Day.
The former lawmaker also pointed out that the national anthem alone cannot unite the nation. He stated that only the ideals of freedom, justice, and equity can truly bring unity to Nigeria.

According to Shehu: “Mr President, I will like to draw your attention to this fact and this truth, a national anthem cannot unite a nation, a national pledge cannot unite a nation, a constitution cannot unite a nation.
“A nation is united by the ideals of freedom, a nation is united by equity and by justice.
“This democracy was not a gift given to us by the military, it was not a lottery that we won, it was a product of struggle and sacrifice.
“Mr President, you have a duty to succeed. If you succeed, we will share your glory because you came from the trenches, you came from that struggle, you came from that period of struggle.
“Mr President, if you fail, they will say that those of you who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria.”
