Fiery Ex-Nigerian Lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to fall victim of his predecessor, Major- General Muhammadu Buhari on appointments, stressing that any leader who priortise tribal bigotry will fail, but competence and proven track records should be the ultimate.
Sen. Sani however noted that, during former President Buhari’s eight-year, 2015-2023, nepotism was at its highest, and nothing good came out in all areas of governance, majorly security, economy, education and healthcare.
His words “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 parson “If this country has to move forward, we must treat the issue of competency as the qualification for appointment.”
The former Lawmaker narrowed down the incessant insecurity in the Country, especially Northern Nigeria to failure of leadership, especially those from the region who failed to use political power to reduce the level of underdevelopment in the 19 states of the region. What has all these powers been used for? It has not been used for the benefit of our people for a very long time.”
