The Senator representing Kaduna central, Comrade Shehu Sani has said that Nigerians may resort to revolution as a result of negligence by the government.

According to him, change should not be only about political party personality, but a system that could guarantee social justice, economic freedom and dividends of democracy to the citizenry.

The senator disclosed this in Kaduna on Monday when the leader of Gwazaye airport community paid him a courtesy visit in his office to express their grievances on the way the community had been neglected over the years without any social amenities, even when it was the host of the Kaduna airport.

He noted that the situation of Gwazaye
community was a reflection of the state of the Nigerian people over the years where politicians made promises to improve peoples’ living condition but did noting when they emerged as winners.

“Nigeria political elites are united in the board in area of exploiting Nigerians; they use religion to create enmity between Muslims and Christians in the outside in order to continue to loot funds for themselves,” Sani added.

The senator explained that the federal government’s decisions to shift the air lifting from Abuja to Kaduna was a welcome development which would draw government’s attention to the host community of the airport.

Earlier, the leader of the team, Mallam Tukur Idi, who spoke on behalf of the team said, “No compensation was paid to our parents when the federal government acquired the land to build the airport.”

He noted that the host community had been neglected as there was no single secondary school and hospital, stressing that their women and children had to travel far distance to attend antenatal and schools.
