Since 2019, Sheu Sani has been a ferocious critic of the Buhari-led administration as well as the Kaduna State government under Nasir El-Rufai.

He had on several occasions also vowed to rid Kaduna of terrorism should he get the mandate to lead the state.

He once wrote: “We can’t continue to fold our hands while the government is helpless. We must unite the people against terror. Kaduna has never been more divided along religious lines than it is today.
