Kaduna based civil rights activist, Comrade Shehu Sani, has warned that there will be dire consequences, if the 2015 general elections are rigged.
He spoke yesterday in Kaduna during a visit to People Living with Disability.
He regretted that billions of naira meant for development were being stolen by politicians, resulting in poverty and insecurity.
Sani, who is seeking the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the Kaduna Central Senatorial District election, described the deplorable condition of people living with disability as “worrisome”.
The activist urged northern leaders to revive the agricultural sector and textile industries to end poverty and social vices.
Sani said: “If the 2015 general election is rigged, we are heading for revolution. I am here to identify with the poorest in our society. These people are victims of corruption, injustice and failed governments. The poor have been neglected and they represent revolution. For northern Nigeria to progress, we must end insurgency and fund the education sector. We must revive our textile industries and invite foreign experts to come and invest”.
Chairman of People Living with Disability, Muntari Saleh, said they were in support of an automatic ticket for Sani based on his support to the less privileged and fight for the masses.
