Former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has made it clear that he believes it would be unjust to hold President Bola Tinubu solely responsible for Nigeria's economic challenges. While addressing attendees during a virtual religious event, Sanusi pointed fingers at the previous administration led by Muhammadu Buhari, criticizing its mishandling of economic policies.
Sanusi, who also served as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), lamented the disregard for his counsel in addressing the country's economic woes. He emphasized that the current predicament was foreseen due to systemic issues that were not adequately addressed in the past.
Expressing frustration at the expectation for him to openly oppose the president, Sanusi highlighted the complexity of Nigeria's economic situation and warned against simplistic blame attribution. He argued that while Tinubu may not be faultless, the root causes of the economic hardship lie elsewhere, particularly in the mismanagement of finances and failure to heed advice.
Drawing attention to the unsustainable debt burden and unchecked printing of currency by the CBN, Sanusi stressed the urgent need for corrective measures. He criticized the culture of sycophancy and exploitation that exacerbates the economic plight of ordinary Nigerians.
In conclusion, Sanusi urged resilience among the populace and called upon those with means to assist the less fortunate. He emphasized the importance of living within one's means, particularly in times of economic uncertainty where basic necessities are a struggle for many.
