Former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial Seat
in the upper legislative chamber, Senator Shehu Sani on friday, hinted that the
fast growing poverty leading to higher rate of begging in the north was due to
social injustice and the systemic failure of political leaders of the region.
Sani, an activist insisted that the poverty ravaging the
region can not be addressed by legislation.
The former lawmaker in a statement on Friday said, “Begging
in the Northern part of Nigeria is a direct result of poverty, neglect, social,
cultural and religious factors.
“The Northern political leaders should understand that it is
impossible to compose a paradise without beggars in a hell they created over
the years. Beggars are tragic victims and direct result of a nation failed by
its successive governing elites. You can’t end begging without ending poverty
and illiteracy.
