The former federal lawmaker stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme on June 30.
Sani said nepotism was at its peak during Buhari’s eight years in power but there were no results to show for it in security, economy, education and healthcare, The Punch reports.
However, he said he believes President Tinubu has the experience to avoid making the same mistakes as Buhari.
“Under Buhari, we have seen nepotism at its peak, where people were appointed to public offices and abandoned even if they did nothing.
“Service chiefs were kept in office despite their failures, and by retaining them the careers of those behind them were destroyed. For many years, many officers were removed to appoint a single person.”
“If this country is to move forward, we must address the issue of competence as a requirement for appointment.”
