At all at all na hin bad Sani finally have something to brag about
For clarity sake the award is Commander of the Order of the Niger(CON) not CORN 🌽

No honour for MC Oluomo?

I think say the guy na one of the main men!

Tjra:

If you were an undergraduate in 1993, you should be a grandmother now.

Well, I find it hard to believe.

I was a teen then and I a father. Ese lopolopo. Most of these people you are hailing as politicians today, I have met personally. Dino was in Abu, Maiyegun was in Unilag, Momadu was in Ekpoma.

Mitsurugi:
Where is Reno? And his cohorts in stupidity?

They are June 12 heroes my dear Gen Z. Calm down.

Congratulations to Shehu Sani. Shehu has been a strong promoter of democracy in Nigeria. His legacies are glaring.
Happy Democracy Nigerian

I did not go to prison like they did, I was undergraduate during June 12 and still carry the scar of injury sustained during protests. Tinubu even ran away.

So you are that old yet you talk like a child in kindergarten all the time, grinning on every thread

That one na small pikin for politics. I blamed mumu Jonathan that made him and Ruben abati popular.

Just because he's a rival to El-rufai.

Tinubu is just interested in political conquest. He has nothing to offer.


Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this new rule of 40 characters. Space Bookers in the mud. Well done, Seun.

Please you and your likes should go read history.

Hmm is this really a deserved award or just rewarding of praise singers

Abacha jailed him for about 3 years because of June 12 and the fanthom coups

It was after Abacha's death that Sani,Obasanjo Chris Anyanwu and many other journalists and human rights activists were released

He was barely 30 at the time

Chai. Nairaland is now full of children If you don't know the antecedent of Shehu Sani, I can not help you. Google it

Lol.. I tell you bro its just unfortunate. Kids all over NL. They didnt know the struggle Shehu Sani and co did for democracy struggle.

I know that is where you are going. Some of you kids think I am ibo, because I don't align with your political thinking. I have claimed to be a child. Reason I laugh at most of you.

You must find out truth before you slammed me. How old do you think I am, when I claimed there was no St Peter Aroloya, but St John. You believe those who lied to you.

benuejosh:
if only you knew how far Shehu Sani has been in the play of things in the Democratic process of Nigeria. He among many are those who forgot the military government/rule in this country and were sought after to be killed and even went on exile. Shehu has come a long way, he deserves it.

You're good with your history 👍.
Keep it up. Hahaha

Las las, he will be at senate.

Thank you El rufai

As much as I know that Tinubu is only trying to score a cheap political goal,the award on Shehu Sani is well deserving,that guy severally stood his ground against tyrannical regimes.
Congrats Mr Shehu Sani.

That’s the next kaduna state governor as anointed by the president

I believed you should be in 20s or under 30 for you not to understand the sacrifices made by Shehu and other human rights activists.

Go and ask your parents in the village if you dont know the role Shehu Sani Played in the struggle for democracy

President Bola Tinubu Awards CON to Shehu Sani

While other far Northerners stayed off the struggle for the June 12 elections struggles back in the 1990s, Senator Shehu Sani was arrested by Sani Abacha's military junta and locked up for his relentless of the pro-democracy movement.

He is CLEARLY one of the top 3 Fulanis that I trust on Earth for their noble deeds in speaking up as and when due against atrocious acts even those committed by his own foreign and local Fula kinsmen, NOT the ilk of Nasir El-Rufai or Atiku Abubakar who openly make verbal gaffes at critical turning points from the horrendous given to killer foreign Fula herdsmen and bandits in Southern Kaduna to the Sokoto-based girl who was set ablaze by a student and Atiku Abubakar couldn't even take a stand with his deleted online message on the issue, etc.

A well-deserved one for all the struggles of Comrade Shehu Sani back in the 1990s and BIG congrats to him and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State who was ALSO a member of the pro-democracy movement. I appreciate these rare men of valor from the far North of Nigeria. They stood firm when the propaganda machinery of the corrupt military dictators using NTA and the so-called ministers of information to mislead the public that this movement was ONLY a Yoruba pro-democracy movement when infact folks from nearly all regions of Nigeria were involved in the struggle.

For the guy who said this award is just because Senator Sani is a rival to El Rufai, are you saying El Rufai is deserving of a national award?
Let's be truthful, please.
Only Senator Shehu Sani stood up to Buhari in the senate. Then they bundled him out of the seat. Almost every other stomach infrastructure activist waited for Buhari to leave office before they rebooted.
Give Senator Shehu Sani his flowers. He is a true democrat. He doesn't believe anyone who is not from his region or religion should be put to death or kept away from the basic necessities of life. In almost every regard that matters, El Rufai showed himself bereft of humanity. Truth has to be told, on behalf of the unprotected masses of Southern Kaduna. Their blood will NEVER be swept under the carpet.

I fully agree.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is multi ethnic, multi religious, cosmopolitan. Though he is an imperfect human being, Senator Shehu Sani has stood with and for all sections of Nigeria, boldly demanded good governance - he is one of the microscopic few who spoke boldly during Buhari's 8 years of calamitous misrule. He basically endangered his life and limb to stand up for his convictions.
Give the man his flowers.
