Knocks as Shehu Sani appeals to protests to suspend demonstration
Former Nigerian Senator, Shehu Sani has come under attack for appealing to #EndBadGovernance protesters to suspend their agitation and dialogue with President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that the president on Sunday addressed the nation over the ongoing nationwide protests.
Tinubu’s address has since then divided Nigerians, leaving some to praise his speech, while others berated him.
Reacting to the president’s address in a post made on X late Sunday, Senator Sani wrote, “After the President’s speech,the Protesters should suspend their protests and raise a team to dialogue with the Government at the Federal and state levels;there they can negotiate on their demands. That is how democracy works.”
His remark on the topic, however, didn’t go well with some netizens who took to the comment section to blast the former lawmaker.

One of the X users who reacted to Sani’s appeal, @Vinosky wrote, “It’s shame that a serial protester like you is talking like this. This is the reason the little Hitler kicked you out of any political position in kaduna. I know you’re hungry. But baba. Nobody can suspend this protest, unless hunger.”
Another user, Nwafresh claimed the former senator is doing his best to be relevant to Tinubu in exchange for a government appointment.
He wrote, “President Tinubu should call Senator Shehu Sani and give him the opportunity to join APC just like he did with Daniel Bwala. He has danced enough Alingo to be recognised.”
“Listen my friend, how can they suspend protests and dialogue with the President when the President did not even acknowledge or address any of the demands in that speech.
“You can’t dialogue when those you want to dialogue with don’t even acknowledge the problem,” Morris Monye wrote.
A user, Bolanle, tackled Sani saying, “No, it’s not how democracy works. To think you were one of those who supposedly fought for democracy! omo, the masquerade has been unveiled”
Also, Emir Sirdam said, “Sir do you really know what democracy is all about?
“Did the Murder in Chief address the demands of Hungry Nigerians?
“One day the world will know what this criminal drug dealer and certificate forger has on all of you.”
