Abuja, Jan. 14, ’25 (TNZ) Sen. Shehu Sani blasted critics of President Bola Tinubu’s appointments, arguing they remained silent on former President Buhari’s failure.
TheNewsZenith recalls that Sani represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in 2015 – 2019.
The Senator recalled that former President Buhari gave appointments to all key institutions and ministries in the North.
He listed several appointments made by President Tinubu, including the Chief of Defence Staff, National Security Adviser, Ministers of Agriculture, Defence and Education, all from the North.
He argued that when Buhari was in power for 96 months, he failed to construct major roads, activate the Mambila power plant and dualise key highways in Northern Nigeria.
Despite these failures, Sani noted that Buhari’s supporters remained silent and refused to hold him accountable. “This is double standard”, he said.
