Shehu Sani Speaks On Why The APC Shouldn’t Be Scared Of Revolution

The former lawmaker representing Kaduna central senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has opined that since the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration which brags as being progressive, should have no fear of revolution.

This the senator said while reacting to the clampdown of protesters by the police protesters across the country yesterday.

Recall that many Nigerians in various states had trooped out to participate in the protests organized by the “RevolutionNow” movement to “kick against bad governance” in the country.

However, many of them were arrested by the police, while others were dispersed.

In a statement, Sani said the reported maltreatment of protesters undermines the values and principles of Nigeria’s democracy.

The senator said such treatment is endangering the nation’s democracy which he said is a product of the “culture and history of protest.”

“It is ironic that the very political class that the people to a stream of protest when they were in the opposition have now resorted to undermining and crippling the very democratic instruments they once so cherished,” he said.

“The protester is the pillar and the beam of democracy. The fear of revolution is the beginning of the revolution. he protester is the pillar and the beam of democracy. A political class that calls itself progressive should have no fear of Revolution.”
