President
of Civil Congress of Nigeria, Comrade Shehu Sani has warned that any attempt to
rig the 2015 general elections may result in a revolution.
He said
this was because more Nigerians were getting enlightened about the need for
good leadership.
Speaking
on Wednesday at a lecture to mark the Niger State Council of the Nigeria Union
of Journalists (NUJ), press week at the IBB Pen House Minna, Sani cautioned
that religious and ethnic affiliations should not be the basis for electing
leaders.
“Those
running the affairs of the country must ensure that 2015 election is free and
fair or risk revolution, citizens are getting enlightened and are prepared to
fight for their right”, he said.
The
ordinary citizens across the country, he said, were not concerned about the
origin of their leaders but the capabilities of such persons.
He
lamented that President Goodluck Jonathan’s impact was not being felt even in
his Niger Delta region save for few privileged individuals.
The
activist likened the situation to when the northerners occupied the top leadership
position, saying the low-class never enjoyed quality representation.
“Those
who benefited when Northerners occupied the position of authority are the
bourgeoisie”, he decried. Culled
