Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has revealed that recalling an incumbent Senator is a very expensive plot because it demands huge financial backing.
The former lawmaker stated this in a Facebook post on Saturday, amid speculation of plots to recall the lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The plot followed Natasha’s sexual harassment allegation against the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
In his post, Shehu Sani stated that “recalling a Senator is a very expensive plot that can only be hatched or financially backed 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.
