Former Kaduna Central Senatorial District representative, Shehu Sani, has urged President Bola Tinubu to launch an investigation into President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. Sani, a prominent critic of Buhari’s government, emphasized that the devaluation of the Naira was not the only economic wrongdoing committed by the former president’s administration.
Expressing his concerns on Sunday, Sani criticized Buhari for the country’s deterioration over the past eight years, stating that traps were strategically set up by his administration to make Tinubu’s incoming administration appear more favorable by comparison.
During an interactive session with Nigerians residing in France and neighboring countries on Friday, President Tinubu himself remarked that the financial system of the country had been compromised under the leadership of former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele.
Tinubu expressed his frustration at Emefiele’s mismanagement of the financial system, citing its detrimental effects on the country.
He said, “Then the financial system was rotten. Few people made bags of money and then you yourself, you stopped sending money home to our poor parents. Several windows. But that is gone now. It’s gone.
“The man is in the hands of the authorities. Something is being done about that. They will sort themselves out.”
Reacting to Tinubu’s statement on Sunday, Senator Sani said, “The redesigning of the Naira is not the only economic crime perpetrated under the Buhari administration.
“The President should courageously allow a full scale investigation of the plunder that occurred under the Buhari administration, beginning with Buhari, his ex ministers, his service chiefs and the cabal wing of his Government.
“The President should not also shield former Governors who are now at liberty, even waiting for political appointment as entitled men. One or two persons in the cage can’t answer for the crime perpetrated by others in the last eight years. The current investigation can easily be stained as selective if the probe net is restricted.
“The simple question is; what about others who also contributed in ruining the economy? Or maybe some of us are just too impatient because of lack of knowledge of what is ahead.”
