Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has criticized the “reckless policies” of former President Muhammadu Buhari, attributing the current hardships faced by Nigerians to the long-term consequences of those policies. Speaking on Channels Television, Oshiomhole expressed his earlier dissent against measures he believed dehumanized an already suffering population.<\/p>\n
Highlighting his loyalty to Nigeria, Oshiomhole emphasized that he, along with other governors, opposed these policies. He clarified that the difficulties witnessed under the current administration are a result of the earlier administration’s decisions.<\/p>\n
Regarding President Bola Tinubu, Oshiomhole absolved him of responsibility for the previous government’s actions, stating that Tinubu cannot be held accountable for decisions made right or wrong during that period. He noted that Tinubu, like himself, had distanced from policies that did not align with the promises made by the then-president.<\/p>\n
Additionally, former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, echoed similar sentiments, asserting that blaming Tinubu for the present economic challenges is unjust. Sanusi emphasized that the country is grappling with a failing economy due to mismanaged economic policies over the past eight years. He acknowledged the high debt levels, with the Central Bank of Nigeria owing over N30 trillion, leading to debt service exceeding 100 per cent.<\/p>\n
Sanusi defended Tinubu, stating that in the current economic situation, the blame cannot be placed on him. While acknowledging that Tinubu is not without faults, Sanusi pledged to speak out if he observes any wrong economic policies from the Tinubu administration in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
