A former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central in the Nigerian Senate, Shehu Sani has warned that whistleblowing in the Red Chamber is usually not tolerated by the leadership or the lawmakers.
Citing the challenges he faced during his time as a lawmaker, Sani on Thursday, suggested that there is an unwritten law in the Senate that prevents members from engaging in any form of whistleblowing.
In a post he made on X, barely hours after the Nigerian Senate suspended Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Sani said only “divine intervention” can save a lawmaker from the wrath of the leadership of the Red Chamber in such a situation.
He said, “When I publicly disclosed the salaries and allowances of the Senators, it nearly earned me a SIX months suspension if not for Divine Intervention, “Saraki and Ekwerenmadu’s immediate rescue.
“Just know that if you are there and you blow whistle too loudly, you will be “On your Own”, no senator go bring him head or neck to support you,” Sani wrote on X.
