My friend also a politician gave me pepper and handkerchief in order to shed tears while I submitted my nomination form – Shehu Sani

Senator Shehu Sani has yet again made another shocking revelation. The Senator who blew the whistle on the amount Nigerian senators take home monthly has yet again dropped another eye opener.

The lawmaker recently picked his interest and nomination forms in order to participate in the All Progressives Congress(APC) senatorial primaries that will produce a senator for his constituency.

However, the Senator speaking via Twitter on Monday revealed that a friend of his, also a politician gave him pepper and a Handkerchief to rub on his face, so as to shed tears ‘on the plight of the masses’’ while collecting and submitting his nomination form.

According to the lawmaker, he politely turned down the offer, saying he’s an activist and not an actor.

He also told of how,  a group of young Nigerians ‘struggling’ to get their daily bread, also approached him, and asking for permission to announce that they bought his nomination form. This, the senator also said he declined, saying he didn’t want to be in that league of political deceptors.
