Sani ranks Buhari as Nigeria’s ‘worst’ President who fiddled while the country burned
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Former Senator Shehu Sani has echoed the views of many that former President Muhammadu Buhari is the “worst” ruler in the history of Nigeria and he “wasted” the country through his actions and actions in all of his eight years in Aso Rock.
Sani bared his mind in Abuja at the launch of The Nigerian Dream written rights activist Moses Paul.
“[Muhammadu] Buhari wasted Nigeria’s time for eight years. And he appointed people who failed and he kept on extending their period in office. That is very wrong,” he said.
“He has accused all [previous] governments of corruption. All the ills of Nigeria, he accused all the previous governments [of being responsible for them].
“Yet, his government has proven the worst in the history of Nigeria.”

Sani, like Kukah and Falana plus Agbakoba
Sani – like Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto in the North – often criticised Buhari’s laziness and irresponsible conduct throughout his tenure in the Villa.
There were also voices from the South, like Femi Falana and Olisa Agbakoba, both SANs, who spoke and wrote, and risked life and limb, and did not relent in trying to steer Buhari away from running the country aground.
But Buhari was always intentional in his mediocre leadership and never bothered to improve, which led to his nemesis to now dub his reign as the years of the locust.
Sani counselled that Nigeria can be a united and prosperous nation if new leaders “lead with the fear of God and a determination and commitment to fulfil your pledges.”
He also spoke on the book launch, according to reporting by Daily Post.
“It has been 63 years since our political independence and when you go through the manifestos of Nigeria’s first-generation politicians, it’s about light, water, education, bridges, unity.
“And here we are, over six decades, we are still talking of these same things. So, I believe that the Nigeria of our dream should be the different one that we inherited; an improved version of it.”
