Kano Rep Reveals Disparity in North-South Rule in Nigeria

Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives from Kano State, highlighted the historical power distribution in Nigeria, stating that the North has ruled for 39 and a half years compared to the South's 28 years. Jibrin emphasized the importance of recognizing Nigeria's history from independence in 1960, rather than starting the count from 1999.

He listed key northern leaders and their tenures to support his argument, urging for a fair assessment of power dynamics in the country. Jibrin's comments on a television program sparked a debate on the equitable sharing of power between the North and South in Nigeria's political landscape.
