Former senator Sani Shehu, who represented Kaduna Central in the Senate, has
accused former president Muhammadu Buhari of causing the nation’s current
economic woes.
Sani who was a guest on Channels TV, said that some of the economic policies
that President Bola Tinubu is implementing now which triggered the economic
hardship should have been implemented by Buhari whom he said failed to do so
and allowed the economy deteriorate.
“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
Absorbing President Tinubu of the blame of the current situation, the
ex-lawmaker noted that having said he would implement the policies he has
implemented so far during campaign, Tinubu did not deceive Nigerians.
“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
