A former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has revealed the reason behind the opposition senatorsโ silence during the recent ordeal faced by Senator Ali Ndume in the Senate.
In a post on his official X handle on Thursday, Sani explained that if any senator had spoken out in support of Ndume, he or she would face similar consequences.
Sani said that the opposition senatorsโ silence was due to fear of repercussions.
โWhen a Senator is suspended or reprimanded for his utterances or conduct by the Senate President, if โany Senator talk anyhow de support am, him too go follow amโ. Thatโs why the opposition senators kept quiet. Thatโs how the place is,โ he said.
Recalls that Ndume was removed as Senate Chief Whip on Wednesday for criticizing President Bola Tinubuโs administration.
He was, however, replaced with Senator Tahir Monguno, representing Borno North Senatorial District.
