Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani
Shehu Sani accuses Tinubu of shielding Buhari-era spendings
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for his refusal to investigate military spending under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Sani said Tinubu’s stance amounts to shielding corruption and rewarding larceny.
The criticism comes after Tinubu’s Monday media chat, where he stated that his administration is not interested in probing the military expenditures of his predecessor.
The declaration sparked backlash, especially given Tinubu’s ongoing probe into the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under its former governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Sani pointed out the inconsistency in Tinubu’s approach, describing it as contradictory.

“When you find yourself in this position, especially with a nation facing these critical issues, you need to go back and recover public funds that were looted,” he said.
He added, “The President has been investigating the CBN, but when asked about the mismanagement of security and defence funds under Buhari, he said he’s more interested in moving forward. It’s contradictory; you can’t probe one and ignore the other.”
The former lawmaker stated that Tinubu’s refusal to address alleged corruption in military spending undermines accountability.
“Saying whatever happened in the past has gone is like rewarding larceny,” Sani remarked.
He further stated that Tinubu should be held accountable for his policies and the actions of his ministers.
“If all his cabinet members are performing as he claims, then he must also ensure transparency across all sectors, including past military expenditures,” Sani said.
