  • Tinubu during a media chat on Monday said he won’t probe military expenditure under his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.
  • Reacting to the comment, Sani said Tinubu’s statement leaves a sour taste in the mouth and will not augur well for the country.

A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has voiced his displeasure at the position of President Bola Tinubu on corruption.

Tinubu during a media chat on Monday said he won’t probe military expenditure under his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

Reacting to the comment, Sani said Tinubu’s statement leaves a sour taste in the mouth and will not augur well for the country.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, the activist said Tinubu’s body language on the issues of corruption leaves so much to be desired.

He said not probing the military spending was tantamount to rewarding larceny and corruption.

According to him, the President’s stance was contradictory to his probe of the past activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, under embattled its former governor, Godwin Emefiele.

“When you find yourself in this position, especially with a nation facing these critical issues like ours, you still have to go backward and see how public funds that were looted have been recovered and I think we have been doing that with what has happened in the CBN the last time.

“But when one of the panelists questioned him (Tinubu) about the looting, the mismanagement of security and defense forces under the Buhari administration, which he needs to probe, I think he made it clear that he is more interested in moving forward than moving backward. It’s a bit contradictory; you can move backward in CBN but you can’t move backward in security.

“I believe that what should have been is that if he is being provided with evidence that shows that there are clear cases of corruption, he would move to recover public funds. That is what the answer was supposed to be.

“If you say that whatever happened in the past has gone, it is more like rewarding larceny which he has done by saying he is not going to go back,” he said.

He added that Tinubu should be held accountable for all his policies and the actions of his ministers since he claimed all his cabinet members are performing
