Senator Sani Shehu, a former member representing Kaduna Central in the 8th Assembly, has refuted claims that current administration under the leadership of President Tinubu destroyed the economy.
The former lawmaker blamed former President Muhammadu Buhari for the country’s current economic woes.
This was revealed by the former lawmaker on Channels TV politics today programme.
Responding to National issues, the lawmaker claimed that some of the economic policies that President Bola Tinubu is implementing today, which created the economic hardship, should have been executed by Buhari, who he said neglected to do so and allowed the economy to worsen.
In his words:“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.
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.
