Former Nigerian senator, Shehu Sani, has revealed that recalling a sitting senator is a very expensive process. He explained that such an effort requires strong financial backing, usually from the government.

Sani made this statement on Facebook while discussing the rumored plan to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central. The recall talks started after Natasha accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment.

According to Shehu Sani, removing a senator from office is not easy because it demands a lot of money. He said that a senator facing recall has two options: either spend large amounts of money to fight back or rely on the support of their constituents to stay in office.

He also pointed out that holding a political office comes with many struggles, including financial, emotional, and time-related challenges.

Sani described political office as a difficult place to be. He said that once someone is elected, they must constantly deal with problems and pressures, which can cause them to age faster.

He added that being in power is not as glamorous as it seems. Politicians often face many battles, and they only find peace after leaving office.

This statement from Shehu Sani sheds light on the realities of political life and the high cost of trying to remove an elected official from office.
