Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s nationwide address
where he claimed to have left Nigeria in a better condition than he met it in
2015, former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has listed the failures of the
outgoing president.
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in
the 8th National Assembly, said Buhari would not want Tinubu to do better than
him.
He noted that Buhari is leaving behind a country without any
economic direction, a failed security system, over 3 million Internally Displaced
Persons, IDPs, 366,000 refugees in neighbouring countries and a country not
restructured.
He accused Buhari, among other things, of granting waivers
to the rich and impoverishing the poor, closing the borders for those who
import bags of rice on motorcycles and permitting those who use the ships.
“He led the country without any economic direction. He
presided over a Government that failed to secure the lives of Nigerians; 63k
dead, 3m IDPs & 366k refugees in neighbouring countries,” he tweeted.
“He failed to restructure as he promised. He granted waivers
to the rich & impoverished the poor. He closed the borders for those who
import bags of rice on motorcycles and permitted those who use the ships.
“He built magical pyramids that disappeared after three
days. He left incomplete projects with huge debts to service for decades.
“He enabled, enriched & reinforced a cabal for 8 years.
He appointed & retained failures and rewarded them with extensions. He was
weak in taking decisions & runway when it’s tough.
“He has no house in London but made London his home. He left
behind record inflation, record devaluation, record unemployment, record fall
in GDP, record figures of poverty and record plunder of state resources.
“He left behind a nation with 60m people suffering from
mental illnesses. He is leaving behind the health workers on strike. He set up
traps for the next Government in order to make his own look better.”
