Shehu Sani Warns President Tinubu Against Repeating Buhari's Mistakes
Former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against emulating the appointment approach of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari. In an interview on Channels Television's Sunday Politics, Sani emphasized the importance of prioritizing competence in appointments to achieve results.
Sani criticized Buhari's administration for prioritizing nepotism over performance, leading to poor outcomes in key areas like security, economy, education, and healthcare. He noted that under Buhari, ministers were retained for eight years without cabinet reshuffles or removals, despite failures.
Sani urged President Tinubu to learn from Buhari's mistakes and focus on competency-based appointments. He also lamented the underdevelopment in northern Nigeria, blaming it on the failure of political leaders from the region to utilize their power for the benefit of their people.
