Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has reflected on one of the present administration’s promises before getting into power.

 

In a tweet he shared, Sani noted that they ‘promised to lift 100m people out of poverty, but threw 133m into deeper poverty.’

 

He tweeted;

They promised to lift One hundred million people out of poverty; now they have officially thrown One hundred and thirty three million people into deeper poverty.
