A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani has called on President Bola Tinubu to investigate the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sani who made the call on Sunday said that the redesigning of the Naira wasn't the only economic crime former President Buhari’s administration perpetrated against Nigerians.
Sani, one of the major critics of Buhari’s administration, on May 28, hours before the expiration of his government, berated him for ruining the country in the last eight years.
He further stated that Buhari’s administration had set up traps for the incoming administration of President Tinubu in all facets of national life to make his own battered administration look better.
On Friday, President Tinubu said during an interactive session with Nigerians residing in France and neighbouring countries, said the financial system of the country under the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele was rotten.
He lamented that Emefiele messed up the financial system of the country.
He said, “Then the financial system was rotten. Few people made bags of money and then you yourself, you stopped sending money home to our poor parents. Several windows. But that is gone now. It’s gone.
“The man is in the hands of the authorities. Something is being done about that. They will sort themselves out.”
Reacting to Tinubu's statement on Sunday, Senator Sani said, "The redesigning of the Naira is not the only economic crime perpetrated under the Buhari administration.
"The President should courageously allow a full scale investigation of the plunder that occurred under the Buhari administration, beginning with Buhari, his ex ministers, his service chiefs and the cabal wing of his Government.
"The President should not also shield former Governors who are now at liberty, even waiting for political appointment as entitled men. One or two persons in the cage can’t answer for the crime perpetrated by others in the last eight years. The current investigation can easily be stained as selective if the probe net is restricted.
"The simple question is; what about others who also contributed in ruining the economy? Or maybe some of us are just too impatient because of lack of knowledge of what is ahead."
