While the Federal Government grapples with a multitude of pressing economic and security issues, it will find no ally in the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, one of the country’s most prominent traditional figures. The Emir’s stance marks a notable absence of support during this challenging period.

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, articulated his stance on the economy and the government during the Chief Gani Fawehinmi Memorial Lecture in Lagos on Wednesday, shedding light on his vision and plans for addressing the nation’s pressing challenges.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ikeja Branch organised the lecture with the theme, “Bretton Woods and the African Economies: Can Nigerians Survive Another Structural Adjustment Programme?”

“I have decided not to speak about the economy or the reforms, nor to explain anything regarding them. If I explained, it would only benefit this government, and I don’t want to aid this government,” Emir Sanusi said at the lecture, which he chaired.

Having regained his position as the Emir of Kano last year, after being ousted by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s administration four years prior, the Emir now finds himself at odds with the Federal Government, voicing dissatisfaction over its actions toward him.

His return to power under new Kano Governor Abba Yusuf is being challenged in court by the deposed 15th Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, and there have been claims that the Federal Government favours Bayero, claims the FG has denied.

“I choose not to help this government. You see, they are my friends. If they fail to act like friends, I will not act like one,” Emir Sanusi said, explaining his decision.

“I observe their actions, and they lack credible individuals who can effectively explain their policies. However, I’m not here to assist (them). I began by offering support, but I’ve decided to stop.

“I will not discuss the matter any further. Let them come forward and explain to Nigerians why the policies they have pursued have been implemented. Meanwhile, I am enjoying a nice movie with popcorn in hand.
