According to the former Kaduna Senator, Buhari is allergic to being scrutinised and blamed after doing the same to his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, 

A former federal lawmaker and social critic, Shehu Sani has condemned Nigerian immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari for pleading with the present government of Bola Tinubu not to probe him and his aide for the calamities they did to Nigerians during the period of eight years of their administration.

According to the former Kaduna Senator, Buhari is allergic to being scrutinised and blamed after doing the same to his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, noting how Buhari blamed the previous governments for Nigeria's issues while in office.

“They arrogantly oppressed, dispossessed, and killed the poor and the innocent and without remorse seek divine blessings for their injustice and inequity.

“Buhari probed and blamed all the ills and vices of this country on the previous administrations but he is allergic to being probed and blamed,” Sani wrote on Twitter.

It was earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu had assured his processor, Muhammadu Buhari that he and his close aides would be spared in any anti-corruption war his government engaged in.

SaharaReporters learnt on Tuesday that this was discussed during the meeting between Tinubu and Buhari in London, United Kingdom, on Monday night.

The President’s assurance to his predecessor comes amid repeated and ongoing moves by the secret police, the Department of State Services, to place a lid on further investigation of politically exposed persons by the anti-corruption body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Already, the DSS has carried out raids on EFCC offices in Lagos and Abuja, carting away sensitive files, documents and flash drives on investigations into alleged fraudulent activities of former governors, senators and ministers, SaharaReporters earlier reported.
