Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, has called Muhammadu Buhari, the nation’s most recent president, the worst leader in Nigerian history.

He described President Buhari’s 8-year tenure as a “waste.”

Sani made the claims on Sunday, in Abuja, during the launch of the book, ‘The Nigerian Dream’ written by activist, Moses Paul.

The rights activist said, “Muhammadu Buhari wasted Nigeria’s time for eight years. And he appointed people who failed; and he kept on extending their period in office. That is very wrong.

 “He, Buhari has accused all previous governments of corruption. All the ills of Nigeria, he accused all the previous governments of being responsible for them.

“Yet, his government has proven to be the worst in the history of Nigeria,” Sani said.

The former lawmaker said Nigeria could be a united and prosperous nation if the leaders lead with the fear of God and a determination and commitment to fulfil their pledges.

“It has been 63 years since our political independence and when you go through the manifestos of Nigeria’s first-generation politicians, it’s about light, water, education, bridges, unity. 

“And here we are, over six decades, we are still talking of the same thing. So, I believe that the Nigeria of our dream should be the different one that we inherited; an improved version of it,” he said.
