Why is Tinubu being criticized like this by the North?
Nothing. What has he done? Every path a person could take
to enjoy
their life and find success, Tinubu has blocked or ruined
it, or if it was flourishing, he took it and moved it to his own region.
The purpose of a voter card,
as a citizen, is that your rights are recognized,
and you’re given the chance to go and get this voter card.
What you’re supposed to do with it is, when an election comes, go and show this
card, and they’ll give you a ballot paper so you can go and cast
your vote with it,
and choose whoever you want, a woman or a man,
a Muslim or a Christian,
someone you feel comfortable with, or someone whose party you support.
Right?
But just yesterday, things had already become a mess.
It stopped.
They stopped respecting the choices people made.
It stopped.
Were the ballot papers sealed?
It's been three years without it. No, not even three—about ten years.
But some politicians say that anyone who has a voter card is showing that they
are a citizen and love their country.
Well, I'm a foreigner. Drive me out.
No one will show me Nigeria. Let me go back home
and stay in my village.
Listen, I'll leave the rest of Nigeria to you.
Do you mean outside a Nigerian court?
Where else would it be?
Not Niger. I should go back to Niger and do it there.
Over not having a voter card?
Hmm.
What has Tinubu done to the North for people to criticize him like this?
Nothing.
Here?
Nothing. What has he done to me, the poor thing?
What has he done to me, the poor thing? He woke us up and took our inherited goods,
packed them up, and took them to his country.
Every way a person could find to enjoy life and achieve
happiness, Tinubu has blocked or ruined it,
or if it was prosperous, he took it and moved it to his own region.
Think of all the things Sardauna did for us here before he died.
In the North. Every useful thing,
Tinubu took away and went
and delivered it to him there.
The person you consider your friend, your companion, someone you worked
with. Nigeria’s former president, the late Muhammadu Buhari, made
Tinubu seem like his heir.
And now you’re accusing Tinubu of taking what Buhari left behind.
Don’t you see that you haven’t maintained the relationship?
I’m not accusing Buhari, either.
Even so. And I have no evidence that he
brought Tinubu.
I have no evidence. Do you?
Mm-hmm.
Please.
That Buhari was the one who brought—
Buhari brought Tinubu.
Didn’t he elevate him so he could run for election?
Did that happen?
Well, there you go. Ibrahim Shekarau wasn’t elevated before
he became governor.
Did that happen?
Yes.
Did it?
Did it?
People feel sorry for them.
No, I said, did they?
Yes.
Didn't Ibrahim Shekarau betray Buhari?
That's politics. There are too many traitors.
Exactly, that's when you see the elders of the North
campaigning behind Tinubu,
some of whom are your age or older, and among them, they even found someone
an elder in Kano who is nearly a hundred years old.
But you, well, look at him,
either Tinubu hasn't come to see you, or you haven't met him or any of his representatives.
You're testifying that you don't do that.
That's not true.
Look at that man you say is nearly a hundred years old,
he praises Tinubu. There's a reason.
Tinubu knows him, and he knows Tinubu too.
I don't— I know Tinubu because I feel it in my bones.
Tinubu doesn't know me because there's nothing of ours that he could curse.
Well, we have greeted him before.
In the fifth month of the year one thousand, my year
In 2012, we met him in Talata Mafara,
the state capital,
uh, the state capital
of Zamfara.
Sokoto.
No.
Zamfara?
Yes.
So that's where we met him. Governor Abdulaziz Yar'adua, when he was
governor, invited
him,
and he went to open roads for his son, which he had built in
the town of Talata Mafara. And when I was campaigning for Abdulaziz Yar'adua
too,
I went and interviewed him. That's where we met Tinubu.
You know Abdulaziz Yar'adua, then?
Yes, I know him. I only know what I know about him.
Can you speak with him?
I can now, if you give me his number.
So, for example,
what does he think is making money influence political beliefs now?
Since what you're saying is that perhaps these elders who are seen
supporting
Tinubu, it's about money.
What could possibly undermine this belief of yours?
I think oppression is part of the world.
And the lack of a partner for God.
God is the One who provides. He is the One who makes things difficult or impoverishes people.
No one on this earth could persuade me to take something
and abandon what I know is my dignity, my peace
of mind. By God, no one could.
Not at all.
Not at all. By God, no.
By God, absolutely not. I haven't seen anything I wouldn't do.
And not people—
Should someone like you be making these calls?
Well, here I am, doing it.
Some people—
Anyone who thinks they can challenge me, come and face me.
If they dare.
By God, no one.
May God bring you back safely. And do you agree to go back?
God willing. I still have to stop by the farm first.
Thank you very much.
