Shehu Sani Slams Online Poll Branding African Leaders as Most Corrupt

Former Senator Shehu Sani has criticized an online poll that labeled Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinibu and other African leaders as the most corrupt, describing it as a politically motivated exercise lacking factual basis.

Taking to his X account, Sani argued that such ratings are shaped by subjective views and opinions rather than incontrovertible facts and figures. “Labeling leaders as corrupt through online voting is more of a political rating crafted from perspectives than a reflection of reality,” he stated.

The outspoken activist emphasized the need for credible assessments backed by evidence instead of relying on what he termed as “populist sentiments.” He cautioned against using unverified polls to malign leadership, urging citizens to focus on accountability through lawful channels.

Sani’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters lauding his stance on integrity, while critics accuse him of defending the political establishment. The debate highlights growing concerns about the influence of digital platforms on public perception in Nigeria and beyond.
