Mohammed El-Rufai (APC-Kaduna) has commended Shehu Sani and Governor Uba Sani for their immense role in the struggle for democracy in Nigeria.

Mr El-rufai, representing Kaduna North federal constituency, also commended the late Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana and other patriots at an event organised by the National Assembly Legislative Forum (NASSLAF) in Abuja.

The lawmaker who called the former lawmaker a “father” said, “He was one of the leading voices alongside my mentor, Senator Uba Sani. I am glad that Shehu Sani has been invited here.”

He added, “Regardless of the politics between him and my father, for example, even Senator Shehu Sani’s enemies cannot discard the fact that he, late Gani Fawehinmi’s school of thought, the Falana’s have consistently and deliberately advocated for the welfare and rights of workers across the board.”

Regarding the need to preserve the legislature, Mr El-Rufai said the roles of legislative aides in lawmaking should be taken seriously. 

He commended Mr Sani and the Kaduna governor for taking good care of their legislative aides when they were senators.
