As reported by Vanguard, he urged President Tinubu to prioritise competence as the qualification for appointment if he wants to move the country forward.

The former federal lawmaker stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, on June 30.

Sani said nepotism was at its peak during Buhari’s eight years in power yet there were no results to show in security, economy, education and healthcare, The Punch reports.

He, however, said he believes President Tinubu is experienced not to make Buhari’s mistakes

“Under Buhari, we have seen nepotism at its peak where people were appointed into office and left there even if they did nothing.“Service chiefs were retained in office despite their failures, and by retaining them, you destroyed the careers of those behind them. For many years, many officers were retired to appoint one person.”“If this country has to move forward, we must treat the issue of competency as the qualification for appointment.”

The disbursement of the Tinubu uplift grant to families will occur over three months, according to presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.
