In a scathing remark on his official Twitter handle, prominent Nigerian activist and former senator, Shehu Sani, criticized the notion of rewarding or appointing former governors who had allegedly plundered their states and left their people in a state of poverty and debt. Sani’s statement questioned the credibility of such appointments and raised concerns about the lack of accountability for high-profile individuals who were allegedly involved in corruption.
Highlighting the disparity between the treatment of those in detention and the seeming immunity enjoyed by the “members of the defunct cabal, ex-ministers, and ex-governors,” Sani expressed his dismay over what he perceived as a failure to address the issues plaguing the country’s political landscape. Sani emphasized that such a scenario did not bode well for the anticipated new dawn in Nigerian politics.
The statement made by Sani struck a chord with Nigerians, many of whom have been yearning for a more transparent and accountable government. Citizens have long been disheartened by the apparent lack of consequences faced by those accused of corruption, particularly former governors. Sani’s remarks shed light on the frustrations felt by the public and underscored the importance of addressing corruption in order to bring about genuine change.
As the country navigates through challenging times, Sani’s comments serve as a reminder that the appointment of individuals with questionable records may undermine efforts towards progress and perpetuate a cycle of corruption. The public eagerly awaits a response from the relevant authorities regarding Sani’s concerns and hopes for a more inclusive and accountable governance system in Nigeria’s future.
