He said such funds should rather be pumped into education and health sectors in rural communities.
Sani said, “Foreign donor agencies and Foreign Governments, particularly the EU countries, US and Canada should stop funding election activities in Nigeria.
“They should channel the money to education and health in our rural areas. That is where it’s needed most.”
His comments come a few weeks after the 2023 general election and follow the transition of power which will take place on May 29, 2023.
See how Twitter users responded to Sani’s post.
Are we not independent country? Why must they fund our rural education and health systems, when we sit on abundant resources? If we stop the leakages,crush oil thieves and end fuel subsidy,we will have enough to fund our election, education and health systems in our rural areas
