ABUJA – HUMAN rights activist, Comrade Shehu Sani has reacted to the misquotation of his remarks at the venue of the democracy day event, clarifying that he said it was the present Governor of Kaduna state, Uba Sani and NOT the immediate past one ( El-Rufai) that stood for us during our years in prison, in the 90s,
Shehu Sani made the clarification in a statement released via X. The statement reads in full:
I wish to make this correction erroneously published in some media houses. What I said at the venue of the democracy day event was that; the Man who stood for us during our years in prison, in the 90s, was the Present Governor of Kaduna state and NOT the immediate past one. Governor Uba maintained the contact between us and our families and took the baton of the struggle to Northern Nigeria. He kept in touch with the pro democracy and progressive forces,until he was later nabbed by the DSS, released and again arrested and beaten by the Police.
Falana, Mike Ozekhome, Femi Aborishade, Col Umar, Mrs Obe, Mrs Odumakin, John Danfulani, Kalat Ali, Nike Kuti and Agbakoba can attest to this. The former Kaduna Governor is unknown during the struggle.
The history of the June 12 struggle is incomplete without mentioning the role played by Professor Ezekwesili, Prof Jibril Ibrahim, late Arthur Nwakwo,Nkoyo Toyo,President Sowore, Segun Mayegun, James Bawa Magaji, Nasir Kura, Awwal Rafsanjani, Late Ezeife, Yohanna madaki, Gambo Sawaba, Barister Bamidele Oturu, Solomon Lar, Dan Suleiman, Ndubuisi Kanu and Dr Fredrick Fasheun.
