Money Was Shared – Shehu Sani Exposes Plots To Overthrow Tinubu Government
Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has said that the #EndBadGovernance protest in Northern Nigeria is an attempt to overthrow the President Bola Tinubu-led government.
Sani, who stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, noted that the flying of Russian flags during the protests by some youths was a coup attempt.
He said, “There was no visible leadership during the protest as far as Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, etc, are concerned. It’s a fact that even protest has a rule. The first rule is that there will be a reason for which people protest. Yes, there is hunger and hardship as a result of economic reforms which are enough reasons for people to protest, but peacefully.
“Secondly the protest needs leadership.
When you have leaders who will lead the floor in the streets, then certainly one of the responsibilities of that leader is to control the crowd and guide them.
“He can say we are going to start the protest from one point to another and from 6am to 4pm.
That was not the care in the north, especially from Kaduna where I come from. People were called out to the street and they were left on autopilot. The young people use the opportunity to launch attacks on public infrastructure, molest people and attack banks.
“The new dimension that money was shared to youth and the Russian flag was shared shows that the whole intent of the protest is not about policies and programmes of the government or removal of subsidy. But there was an attempt to create an atmosphere where there will be an overthrow of the government.
“When you see this kind of situation, there is someone that wrote a script for anarchy, lawlessness and disorder.
