Former Senator representing Kaduna Central at the Nigerian Senate, Shehu Sani has asked Nigerians to vote for God at the next presidential election after President Muhammadu Buhari said that only God could secure Nigeria's borders.

Sani who took to his Twitter page to react to the President's comment said that the government had earlier claimed that only God could end banditry and insurgency in the country.

"First they said only God can end banditry and insurgency, and now they said only God can protect our borders.Fellow countrymen, next time Vote for God," a recent tweet by Shehu Sani read.

Recall that President Buhari on Tuesday left to God the effective supervision of Nigeria's border with the Niger Republic.

“I come from Daura, few kilometers to Republic of Niger, so I should know a bit about that country.

“The President is quite decent, and we are regularly in touch. He is sticking to the maximum term prescribed by the Constitution of his country.

“Also, we share more than 1,400 kilometers of border with that country, which can only be effectively supervised by God.

“I will speak with the President, and offer his country our support. We need to do all we can to help stabilise the Sahel region, which is also in our own interest,” Buhari said.

Buhari's comments come shortly after he ordered that four of Nigeria's land borders which was shut down in 2019 be re-opened.

First they said only God can end banditry and insurgency,and now they said only God can protect our borders.Fellow countrymen,next time Vote for God.
