Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has warned political officeholders against the abuse of power, cautioning that the consequences of their actions in office will eventually catch up with them.
In a post on his verified Facebook page, the former lawmaker reminded leaders that power does not last forever and should be wielded responsibly.
“We told the leaders of yesterday, we are telling today’s leaders, and will tell tomorrow’s leaders that power is transient. What you plant in power, you will reap out of power,” he wrote.
Sani stressed that no leader can “plant thorns while in power and expect to reap roses afterwards,” noting that life after office is much longer and more challenging than life within it.
According to him, many politicians who act like “gods” while in authority often end up vulnerable once they leave power.
“By the might of Allah, we survived the cruelty of power. We pray you never find yourself in the jaws of power. Ameen,” he added.
