A former Senator for Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has revealed that he was nearly suspended in the Red Chambers for disclosing the remuneration of Federal Lawmakers in 2018.
According to Sani, he would have been suspended if not for the timely intervention of Bukola Saraki, then Senate President, and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
Sani added that any lawmaker who “blows the whistle too loudly” will have to face the consequences of their actions alone.
He mentioned this via a post on his X (formally Twitter) handle in reaction to the suspension of the Kogi Central lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Sani wrote, “When I publicly disclosed the salaries and allowances of the Senators, it nearly earned me a SIX months suspension if not for Divine Intervention, Saraki and Ekwerenmadu’s immediate rescue. Just know that if you are there and you blow whistle too loudly,y ou will be ‘On your Own’, no senator go bring him head or neck to support you.”
