- Senator Sani Shehu, a former Senate lawmaker from Kaduna Central, has attributed the current economic challenges in Nigeria to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
- Sani, a Channels TV guest, criticized President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies for causing economic hardship and stating that Buhari failed to implement them, leading to the deterioration of the economy.
Senator Sani Shehu, a former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central, has accused former President Muhammadu Buhari to blamed for the country’s current economic hardship.
In an interview with Channels TV, Sani claimed that some of the economic policies President Bola Tinubu is currently implementing—which which triggered the economic hardship—should have been implemented by President Buhari, who he claimed neglected to do so and let the situation worsen.
“We must be very factual and realistic with ourselves; the problem we find ourselves today, originated, was engineered, fabricated and sustained by the Buhari administration. The Buhari administration, institutionally, fundamentally destroyed the Nigerian economy,” said Sani
Relieving President Tinubu of being accountable for the current situation, the former lawmaker pointed out that Tinubu had not misled Nigerians by vowing to carry out the policies he had already put in place during the campaign.
“When Tinubu took over, he knows there is not going to be subsidy and to be realistic, he was very frank during his campaign. He said, ‘I am going to remove subsidy and whatever protest that will come out of it I will not back down’ and then people went ahead and voted for him, so he has not deceived Nigerians. Now he is in power, we are paying the price for the mistake of the past, for the failure of the past and for what we have refused to do in the past, so this is the reality,” he said
