Senator Shehu Sani who represents Kaduna Central in the
senate, says his life is under threat. Sani made the allegation in a statement
he released via his special adviser, political and ideology, Suleiman Ahmed
today June 6th.
He accused Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, of
referring to him and his political associates as "ants he will match and
crush".
Statement below;
“Our attention has
been drawn to a hate speech and threat to life made by Governor Nasiru El-Rufai
against distinguished Senator Shehu Sani in the governor’s circus christened as
town hall meeting in Giwa local government on 4th June 2016. The governor
reliably and evidently referred to Senator Sani, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed, Isa
Ashiru Kudan as ‘ants he will match and crush’. We could have easily dismissed
or ignore this statement as tantrums of an accidental governor high on weekend
Marijuana, but we decided not to take things for granted in view of the vicious
history and his allergy to criticism. Also fresh in our mind is the mass
killings and burial of members of the Islamic movement in Zaria last December.
We view his unguarded and provocative utterances as nothing but a hate speech
and a direct threat to the life of Senator Sani and others whom the governor
perceived as his ‘enemies’. We hold Governor Nasiru El-Rufai personally
responsible for any harm done on Senator Sani.
This statement is
to publicly alert security agencies and the general public that in the event of
any injury or assassination of Senator Shehu Sani, no one should be held
responsible but Governor Nasiru El-Rufai. El-Rufai is not appeased with his
‘suspension’ of Sen Sani from his pocketed state APC he has now resorted to
threats of ‘Crushing and matching’. El-Rufai is an affliction to the people of
Kaduna; he is at war with clerics, teachers, workers, traditional rulers,
physically challenged, journalists, doctors, politicians and the poor. We
advise El-Rufai to use the waters of River Kaduna to build Kaduna of his dream
and if he must use blood he should use the blood of the abundant crocodiles in
Kaduna River and not that of distinguished senator Shehu Sani.”
