A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central in the Senate, Shehu Sani, has said that Nigerians should blame former President Muhammadu Buhari for the ongoing economic hardship.
Senator Sani who stated this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today last Wednesday argued that if Buhari had implemented some of Tinubu’s economic policies, there would not be hardship in the country.
Sani also said that President Bola Tinubu never deceived Nigerians about the removal of subsidies because during the campaign he had informed the citizenry of his intention to remove subsidies when he came into power.
Sani said that the Buhari administration allowed the country to deteriorate to the present economic crisis plaguing the nation.
He said, “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.
“When Tinubu took over, he knew there was not going to be a 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.”
