Power Comes From Electoral Fraud Not From God – Shehu Sani
By Abdullahi Ahmad Bamalli
Senator Shehu Sani, who represented the Kaduna Central Senatorial constituency in the 8th National Assembly, said the power that comes from fraudulent elections does not come from God.
The human rights activist, who ran for governorship primaries of Kaduna state on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform but lost, made the announcement on his verified Facebook account on Monday.
Senator Sani, who is also a director of the Kaduna State PDP Campaign Council, said it would be wrong to introduce religion after votes were bought, election results were manipulated and actions were rigged.

It is equally wrong to put religion in that situation to launder and legitimise such evil acts claiming that power comes from God, he added.
It would be recalled that Senator Sani had severally faulted the outcome of the Kaduna governorship election in which Senator Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared as winner.
He described the election in which he said the candidate of the PDP Rt. Hon. Isa Mohammed Ashiru won but rigged in favour of the APC candidate as rape on democracy.
“After they buy votes, falsified figures and rigged elections, they will bring in religion to launder and legitimise their evil; and want you to believe that power is from God. Power derived from rigged elections is not from God,” he stressed.
In another of his posts, Senator Sani said, “If you honestly win or rig elections, deep inside your heart and conscience you know the truth. Even though we live in a World of ‘end justifies the means,’ there will always be consequences for wrong doing. Evil can be visited upon people for long, but it will never ultimately triumph,” he said.
