"Mahdi
should tell us what he has contributed to improve the lives of fellow
northerners both Christian and Moslem; Hausa, Fulani or Tangale"
20 September 2022
The Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) views with shock and disappointment a video of Mahdi Shehu resorting to ethnic and religious dog whistle campaign for his preferred candidate.
Mahdi Shehu is an elder statesman, and so someone of his repute should be careful with his messaging so as not to heat up the polity.
The statements from Mahdi Shehu are dangerous for a country like Nigeria looking to reap the dividends of democracy. He is resurrecting an old style of divisive politicking that does more harm than good. Every Nigerian including Northern Christians have full rights in every part of the country including the South and they have always been welcomed with full arms open. He needs to be called to order as the statements are unbecoming of an elder statesman.
