Shehu Sani alleges violent protests in the North aimed at overthrowing Tinubu

The former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen. Shehu Sani, says the violence that erupted in some Northern states during the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests were plots at overthrowing the government of President Bola Tinubu.
Sani, who made the allegation as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night, alleged that he got intelligence reports that some days into the protest, money, and some foreign flags were shared among the youths in the northern regions with the intent to cause havoc and force a takeover of government.
“A day before the last protest, money was shared to the youths, and Russian flags were also shared. That shows that the whole intent of the protest is not simply about the policies and programmes of the government,” Sani said on the programme.

“There was an attempt to create an atmosphere where there would be an overthrow of the government.
“When you have this kind of situation, you will see that someone is writing a script for anarchy, lawlessness, and disorder. It is incumbent for someone like us to speak.
“The whole intent of the protests was not simply about the government’s policies but to create an atmosphere for the overthrowing of the government,” Sani insisted.
