Senator Shehu Sani addressed various sensitive issues affecting the nation currently, while speaking as a guest speaker at the Freelance and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria (FIBAN) on
Thursday, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, According to the senator, all is not well in Nigeria. He further went on to say that there is no difference between PDP and APC and he feels that
politicians are more concerned about getting re-elected into office rather than deal with the incessant killings going on in the nation. Speaking on the theme of the conference: “Politics, Media and National Integration- Before 2019 Nigeria,” Sani called for
peaceful protest by Nigerians across the country to reawaken the consciousness of the leaders towards good governance. He said:
“All is not well with this country. This is the wrong time to shed blood in Nigeria. If you think that people in power will stop the problem in the country, you are in for a fool’s ride. The
attention of people is how to win elections and not how they can end senseless killings and bloodshed.
“It would require a mass, peaceful march in the streets from
Nigerians to recharge the conscience of people in power. Nigerians are dying in hundreds and in thousands and some people felt what is important is INEC timetable, when is
elections and when is primaries.
“It is difficult to hear any public office holder speak the truth because of political calculations. Anybody who says we are not in crisis now is deceiving himself.”
“We have come a long way to establish this democracy and we must not let this democracy die because some
people died to enthrone this democracy. People should be elected based on their individual qualities,” the senator added
