The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has decried the use of thugs by politicians during elections, to protect and preserve their power.
He noted that these thugs are funded clandestinely by governors from the public treasury, adding that the thugs are endorsed and positioned to cause mayhem in a bid to protect the interest of these governors. He said, “Local and International Observers ‘mild and modest’ reference and reactions to the use of Thugs by those in power in the previous elections, made it possible for the practice to repeat itself and this time more audacious”.
He added that “Every time the Government turns a blind eye to those leaders holding positions of power or influence, whom by their actions or words promote or incite bloodletting, to protect or preserve their spaces in the stage of power, it has given its consent to violence against its people.
Who tell you to fightwith devil.
Have they and what are you doing about it before leaving the senate ?
APC is a party of legalized thuggery
What APC notional CHAIRMAN stated in Edo was brought to the National level.
If the same likes you have on Twitter is same as the one you have for election, you'll be the winner by now as well as atiku
Both the PDP, APC and other parties in Nigeria are guilty of this form of problem in our society.
Which you once belong to sir, you benefited from this agents and when it wasn’t looking good you jumped ship. God will judge all of you.

Rather. Thugs have become institutional agents of strong power hungry politicians like you. Regardless of political party
Keep quiet and face your challenges politically not by blackmails.
Body dey paper you go find to cool your body
GBE enu e dake
Shehu Sani's plight is understandable
Poor governance and the succession of vision less leaders over the years has impoverished the citizens and disillusioned the vulnerable youths hence the reason why we have idle hands whom have been encourage to find life in the act of thugry
Thugry as a profession was institutionalized by politicians, I don't see why any other politician should complain about their actions after all the average nigerian on the streets don't pay them to do what they do.
So only the ruling deployed thugs in the conduct of the elections?
If Sani and APC had not fell out of love the same thing, he would have rode on the same horse back.
Thugs play major roles for the pdp and apc in my country Nigeria ....all Nigeriansloop politian works with them ...no saints among you.. Stop complaining sir ...many of your colleagues in the house are thugs , so what aee you saying.
So, opposition parties don’t use THUGS?
Many of you in the senate are thugs .
Welcome to Nigeria politics
So it is the same everywhere as in Lagos? Where Agbero was giving assurance of safety to the lgbos
Yes oooo
Why did they spend all the budget on INEC, when the thugs could have been payed enough fund to return them? Why expose the Citizens to such disaster and lost of lives?
Absolutely true sir
Unkept shehu sani, go and bath
That's why they are professional institutions as a body mc_Oluomo1
Able Senator...are you just observing that?
Maybe we should remind his hypocritical self that he is the same person who was protesting against the GovKaduna 's actions, when the later launched a campaign against thuggery in the state
Not just happening. Even NURTW run their tenure concurrently with the government in power.
Shut up there ShehuSani
Thugs were used to rigged Sani into the Senate in 2015.
peoples vote must count we will not sit and APC rigs kano no way..... Before court will show our resentment
Oga park well joor what about rivers state and cross river state wailing wailers
Say it again Sir. The world survives on people like you.
It seems winning election by the ruling party is more important than the bloodshed
Finally coming out of your shells
A country where politicians empowers motor park boys than graduates
And PDP goons don't use thugs? ShehuSani is still in 'sifia' pains of not returning to Senate. What a shocking and skewed submission. Be objective man!
That's after you were thrown out of the party sebi?
