Shehu Sani, senator-elect for Kaduna Central, on May 9,
criticized Goodluck Jonathan’s administration over the sale
of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria and the last-
minute sale of the Nigeria Telecommunications Limited.

Sani characterized President Jonathan’s privatization
moves as a theft of Nigeria’s resources, as he received the
Kaduna state executive of the National Union of Road
Transport Workers (NURTW).
He was quoted as saying by Premium Times:
“The sale of PHCN has not translated into consistent electric
power in our homes, in our offices , in our markets and in our
work place.
“The last minute-sale of NITEL to a private firm at a time when
the government is supposed to be preparing notes for handover
is also suspicious or irrelevant at this time.
“They claim progressive economic statistics on paper while our
people continue to suffer in abject poverty, want and penury.
“All the economic indicators that have been churned out by the
Jonathan administration is in direct conflict with the reality of
the situation on ground as far as Nigeria is concerned.

“Most of our industries have closed down, the value of our naira
has crashed and many people are out of job and the claim of
thousands of jobs created by the government is suspect and
simply on paper.This is also an issue we have to look at in the
incoming administration.”
He described the outgoing administration as “literally a
political restaurant whereby people are invited to come and
feed”.
“That is why President Jonathan is saying that those who
decamped from PDP to APC will come back with empty
stomach.
“The idea of governance under Jonathan is about people using
the opportunity of being in office to service themselves and
their immediate families.
“The bickering in the PDP after the failed elections are simply
nothing but pant of death of a party that has inflicted serious
hardship on Nigerians in the last 16 years.”
Also, lamenting over the crisis within the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC), Sani urged Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration to reconcile the factions for the collective
interest of Nigeria and Nigerian workers.
It is not the first time Sani has expressed negative opinion
about Jonathan’s performance in the office. Last month he
focused on the foreign policy employed by the incumbent,
which he called “uncoordinated, unfocused, uninformed,
non-directional and uncolourful”
