Ukraine war: Don’t join Russian Army – Shehu Sani to Nigerians

Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, on Thursday cautioned Nigerians and other Africans against enlisting in the Russian army to fight Ukraine.

Sani urged Nigerians and other Africans not to allow themselves to be used as mercenaries by Russia.

Posting on X, the former lawmaker reminded Nigerians that Ukraine and Russia were part of the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR.

The USSR popularly known as Soviet Union was the world’s first constitutionally socialist state and a major global super power.

Established after the Russian revolution, it spanned much of Eurasia until its dissolution in 1991.
