The embattled Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration lacks credible individuals capable of effectively presenting his reforms to the Nigerian public.
Speaking at the 2025 Gani Fawehinmi annual lecture, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria expressed his disinterest in helping the Tinubu administration communicate the benefits of its reforms and policies to the people.
Sanusi remarked, “I have decided not to speak about the economy or the reforms, nor to clarify anything related to them. If I were to explain, it would only serve to benefit this government, and I do not wish to aid them.
“I choose not to support this government. While they are my friends, if they do not behave as friends, I will not act like one.”
Emphasising his intention not to fill the gap for this administration, Sanusi stated that he will continue to observe the actions of Tinubu and his entire cabinet from a distance.
“I watch their actions and see a lack of credible individuals who can effectively communicate their policies. However, I am not here to assist. I initially offered support, but I have now chosen to withdraw that,” he added.
Additionally, he commented on the challenges facing Nigerians today, describing them as a direct consequence of decades of irresponsible management.
“People were warned decades ago that if they persisted on this path, this is where they would end up. They chose not to listen,” the Emir concluded.
Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, With due respect sir, When you headed the CBN no cash available in the ATM machine of the banks in Nigeria. But now, banks are punished for not making cash available at the ATM machines across NIGERIA There is cash available presently. Many reforms taking place. Sir, If you can’t join the winning ‘team’ please don’t confuse them, please just be washing and praying for the team as a NIGERIAN. ASIWAJU IS LEADING AND GOD ALMIGHTY IS WITH HIM.
Lots of Economy improvement going on across NIGERIA.
Alhaji sir, weather you explain or not, Our great President ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU is a man we can trust and with the mandate given to him and his party APC, Inshallah, the boat of NIGERIA that we’re all in will lead us, our generation and Africa as a whole to the right path.
GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
