Senator Shehu Sani has said that the present government led by Muhammadu Buhari, once patronized Mr. Omoyele Sowore to get into power in 2015, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV reports that Sani also slammed the Buhari led government for the incessant clampdown on protesters and members of opposition political parties in the country.

The former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central in the eight Senate, was reacting to the detention of Mr Sowore, leader of the Revolution Now movement.

He said the federal government has the responsibility of respecting people's right by allowing them to express their views on national issues through peaceful protest and criticism.

Speaking at an event of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Abuja chapel, Sani said the Sahara Reporters’ publisher contributed his own quota to the emergence of the present government.

He revealed that many of those occupying position of power today in the present government went to New York and met Sowore on many occasion to help them fight the former government (of Goodluck Jonathan).

“How do you turn and say the same person (Sowore) who spoke on justice and freedom five years ago is now the enemy?.

“The enemy of president today are those who are pretending to be his friends. I have always reminded those in position of authority even before I became a senator and when I was a senator that power is temporary in the life. The life after power is longer than when in power”, Sani said.
