Buhari Led A False Life, Fanned Corruption, That A Jobless Boy Bought A Private Jet – Emir Sanusi
The 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has rebuffed entreaties to speak on the difficulties in the land under President Bola Tinubu insisting that former President Muhammadu Buhari fanned corruption to the extent that an inexperienced boy who never worked in his life bought a private jet during the last regime.
Sanusi averred his message to Nigerians in a video message in which he called for patience averring that Buhari refused to listen to expert advice only paying heed to sycophants.
Noting that several people had been calling on him to speak, Sanusi said:
“The last eight years, Nigeria led a false life, the government borrowed from within and without. About N30 trillion was borrowed from the Central Bank.
“All the revenue the country generated in the last few years couldn’t service debt. Debt service exceeded 100 per cent. Government borrowed to service debts. No country can grow this way. Time will come when one cannot borrow any more. Additionally there will be nothing to pay debts.
“Those writing, demanding that we speak on the current situation in the country; this is not the right time for me to speak. It was like a driver on the road driving recklessly despite a wise counsel telling him of a crater ahead. What will you tell after plunging the car into the hole?
“People refused to listen to us then. We will only now advise them to be patient. I will never say Tinubu has pushed Nigeria into difficulty. I am not saying he is flawless or flawed. We will speak when he goes astray. The government can’t pay subsidies since it doesn’t have the means.
“If they add tax, we have to pay since borrowing is impossible. If the CBN printed more naira, the dollar would jack up to N1,500. We must suffer. When I was the CBN governor it was N150. Today it’s somewhere around N900.
“They treated the economy the way they wanted and refused to listen to experts. In the last eight years only sycophancy succeeded. The sycophants bought dollars at N400 and sold N540. An inexperienced boy who had never worked anywhere owns a private jet,” Sanusi said in the message underlying how corruption thrived under the Buhari administration.
GWG.ng reports that Sanusi was deposed as emir under the Buhari regime after he continued to speak on the corruption in various levels of government.
