Nigerians take too much rubbish from politicians — Sanusi Lamido

Former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido, has stated that Nigerians take too much rubbish from politicians.

The ex-Emir of Kano, said if the masses fail to fight against abnormalities in Nigeria, a time will come when there will be nowhere to call a nation.

The ex-CBN governor noted that Nigerians are too afraid in their comfort zones, urging them not to be intimidated by a president or governor.

He said, “We cannot be intimidated by somebody because you are a president or you are a governor and we cannot tell you that you are wrong.

We have chosen different parts. If I had gone into politics, at least given the people that have access to be president in Nigeria, I could have become president or I could be governor.

“That I choose not to go into politics does not mean I’m a subordinate human being. This is what we all have to learn as Nigerians.

“We take too much rubbish, and we are all too afraid in our comfort zones.

By the time these guys might have finished with us, our children will not have anywhere to call a nation.

“The only way to retrieve our nation and give our children the future they deserve is, if you are not in politics, you must hold those in politics to account.

It is not a comfortable situation to be in. When people are incompetent and they don’t like you, you wear their dislike as a badge of honour.

You can’t be comfortable and feel normal in a distortional environment.

“And for the young people, do not fail. This is your country, this is your future. Help us build this country for you,” Sanusi Lamido was heard saying in a viral video circulating on social media.
