Don’t Repeat Buhari’s Mistakes, Nepotism — Shehu Sani warns Tinubu

Former Kaduna Central Senator and social critic, Shehu Sani has warned President Bola Tinubu not to make the same mistakes as his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari, in terms of appointments.

Sani said that, unlike Buhari, Tinubu’s nominations should be based on competence.

During an appearance on Channels Television‘s Sunday Politics, the former legislator accused Buhari of nepotism while in government.

Stressing that nepotism was at its peak, Sani wondered why some Ministers were in office for eight years under Buhari.

According to Sani: “I will advise President Tinubu to be careful not to make the mistakes of President Buhari, and I believe he is experienced to understand this.

“Under President Buhari, you have ministers that were appointed into office for the whole of eight years; they were with him for the first tenure and the second tenure, and there was no cabinet reshuffle, no removal.

“Even if there was a removal, it takes three to four months to replace a minister. That was the way the country was governed.

“Under Buhari, we have seen nepotism at its peak where people were appointed into office and left there even if they did nothing.

“Service chiefs were retained in office despite their failures, and by retaining them, you destroyed the careers of those behind them. For many years, many officers were retired to appoint one person.”
