Buhari left legacy of debt burden, thousands killed by terrorists under him – Shehu Sani

A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has berated former President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his government left a legacy of unprecedented debt burden.

Sani, in a tweet on Sunday, said millions of people became internally-displaced persons and refugees during Buhari’s eight years in office.

According to him, thousands of Nigerians were slaughtered by terrorists between 2015 and 2023 when Buhari ruled the nation.

He added that the Buhari administration enriched those he called a gang of parasitic cabal and their families, while impoverishing millions of people.

Under Buhari, Sani alleged that heads of ministries and security agencies operated what he termed a regime of fiscal indiscipline and industrial scale thievery.

In a veiled reference to Buhari, he said: “His Government left a legacy of unprecedented debt burden, millions of IDPs and refugees, thousands slaughtered by terrorists. His Government enriched a gang of parasitic cabal and their families and impoverished millions of people.

“Under him, heads of MDAs and security agencies operated a regime of fiscal indiscipline and industrial scale thievery. Now we are told about the stories of his cows, sainthood and palour.

“Are we supposed to stand on the graves of the victims of his failures and clap for him or what?”
