Mahdi Shehu has slammed President Bola Tinubu over reports that the Presidency spent over N34 billion on foreign travel within two years, calling it “heartless governance.”
Mahdi Shehu made the remarks in a post shared on X on Monday, reacting to a report stating that the Presidency spent at least N34.39 billion on foreign exchange for international trips and other official duties over a 24-month period.
He argued that the spending reflects a blatant disregard for the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
“This is heartlessness in governance,” he wrote.
He also described the spending as governance terrorism, democratic robbery, and political banditry.
He added that it amounted to economic sabotage and was immoral and indecent.
According to him, the situation reflects a deliberate misuse of public resources, explaining what he called infinite local and foreign missteps.
Shehu went further to describe the spending as a crime against humanity and a deliberate resource obliteration.
“Even angels in heaven will put a continuous curse on this recklessness. Nigerians are sufficiently afflicted,” Mahdi Shehu said.
