The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that he will not offer any advice to President Bola Tinubu’s led federal government on how to tackle the economic challenges facing the country.
The Emir stated this on Wednesday at the 21st Memorial
Lecture of Chief Gani Fawehimi held in Lagos.
Speaking as chairman of the event, Sanusi stated that he
started by helping the government but that he has now resolved not to help the
government again.
He said: ” I can give a few points here about what we are
going through and how it was predictable and avoidable. But I am not going to
do that. I have chosen not to speak on the economy, or reforms or to explain
anything because if I explain it, it will help this government. But I don’t
want to help this government. They are my friends, but if they don’t behave
like friends, I won’t behave like a friend.”
Continuing he said: ” They don’t even have people with
pedigree that can come and explain to the people what they are doing. I am not
going to help. I started by helping, but I am not going to help. Let them come
and explain to Nigerians why they are pursuing the policies that they are
pursuing.
” But I will say this one thing though. What we are going
through today is at least in part, a necessary consequence of decades of
irresponsible management. People were warning that if we continued the way that
we were going, this is how we will end up but they refused to listen.
“Now, is everything being done correctly? No. When I am
ready to talk about the economy, I will.”
Sanusi also charged lawyers to emulate the virtues of the
late Gani Fawehinmi whom he said was an embodiment of good character and virtues
now lacking in the legal profession.
