The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has said he
would not help President Bola Tinubu’s government to correct the
administration’s policies affecting the citizens.
Emir Sanusi said
the current government has no people with credibility who could explain to
Nigerians why their policies have caused hardship.
He stated this while speaking at an event on
Wednesday, a video of which was posted by News Central on its X handle.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor
noted that although the economy was suffering as a result of poor management
contributed by previous governments, President Tinubu‘s government
should explain its policies.
His words: “To be honest, I can stand here today and I
can give a few points that are contrary, a few points that explain, perhaps,
what we’re going through and how it was totally predictable, most of it, and
maybe avoidable, but I’m not going to do that.
“I’ve chosen not to speak about the economy and the
reforms, or to even explain anything, because if I explain, it would help this
government, and I don’t want to help the government. I don’t want to help this
government.
“You know, they’re my friends. If they don’t behave
like friends, I don’t behave like a friend. So I watch them being stewed, and
they don’t even have people with credibility who can come and explain what
they’re doing. But I’m not going to help. I started out helping, but I’m not
going to help. I’m not going to discuss it.
“Let them come and explain to Nigerians why the
policies that have been pursued have been pursued. And meanwhile, I’m watching
a very nice movie with popcorn in my hands. I’m watching them stew.
“But I will say one thing.What we’re going through
today is at least in part, not totally, at least in part, a necessary
consequence of decades of irresponsible economic management.”
