Senator Shehu Sani, who served as the senator for Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, asserted that the authority gained through a manipulated election was not given by God.
The human rights activist who contested the Kaduna State governorship primaries on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but lost stated this on his verified Facebook account on Monday.
Senator Sani who is also a director on the campaign council of the Kaduna State PDP said, it is a wrong thing to bring in religion after votes are bought, election results falsified and action rigged.
He added that bringing in religion in that situation to launder and legitimise such evil acts claiming that power comes from God is equally wrong.
It would be recalled that Senator Sani had severally faulted the outcome of the Kaduna governorship election in which Senator Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared as winner.
He described the election in which he said the candidate of the PDP Rt. Hon. Isa Mohammed Ashiru won but rigged in favour of the APC candidate as rape on democracy.
“After they buy votes, falsified figures and rigged elections, they will bring in religion to launder and legitimise their evil; and want you to believe that power is from God. Power derived from rigged elections is not from God,” he stressed.
In another of his posts, Senator Sani said, “If you honestly win or rig elections, deep inside your heart and conscience you know the truth. Even though we live in a World of ‘end justifies the means,’ there will always be consequences for wrong doing. Evil can be visited upon people for long, but it will never ultimately triumph,” he said.
