US EditionYou Are the Architects of Banditry, Hunger in Nigeria - Shehu Sani Blasts El-Rufai, Amaechi
- Senator Shehu Sani publicly accused Nasir El-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi of being the architects of banditry, poverty, and hunger in Nigeria during a 60th birthday lecture for Amaechi in Abuja in 2025.
- Sani based his criticism on the 24-year period during which El-Rufai, Amaechi, and Atiku Abubakar held power but failed to address structural economic challenges or reduce poverty.
- The APC, represented by Felix Morka, defended President Bola Tinubu’s reforms as necessary to dismantle the old rent-seeking system that enriched elites at the expense of Nigerians.
- Morka claimed Nigeria’s economic transformation includes a 4.6% growth rate in late 2024, rising wages from N30,000 to N70,000, and reduced import dependency despite criticisms that reforms deepen hardship for many.
- The accusations and rebuttals suggest ongoing political contestation where former leaders criticize Tinubu’s policies amid stalled poverty reduction, while the administration pushes market-driven reforms to stimulate growth.
