Natasha vs Akpabio: To avert recall you must have to spend huge amounts of money – Shehu Sani
Former Senator Shehu Sani has stated that recalling an incumbent senator is a costly process requiring significant financial support.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Sani commented amid speculation about efforts to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central, following her sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
He noted that such a recall can only be initiated or financially supported by the state.
According to him, to avert recall, the embattled Senator “must have to spend huge amounts of money or depend on the magnanimity of his constituents to Survive”.
“Every person elected into office will naturally have his battles to fight; the battles are usually time, emotion and resource consuming. Sitting on the throne of power is sitting on a thorn. There is no rest or breathing space for the head that wears the crown.
“We have been through that experience and fire and I can feel the troubles of those in the office. That’s why you see people age faster by the time they exit the office.
“The day you get elected as a Councillor, lawmaker, Governor or President, that is bye bye to your mental peace until your exit. Power is not a bed of roses”, the post added.
