Rotimi Amaechi’s threat: Shehu Sani accuses Nigeria of double standards against Igbos

Former senator Shehu Sani accused Nigeria of applying double standards to threats of political, religious, or ethnic violence, saying threats from outside the South-East are often treated as normal. He made the allegation on X on Sunday after ADC vice-presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi warned that a court ruling against his party’s leadership could spark unrest. The Federal High Court in Abuja had nullified the National Working Committee led by David Mark and the process that produced Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election. Amaechi told Mainland 98.3fm the ruling could cause a civil war if not properly managed.
