Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and former Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, told the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu that he doesn’t belong to any political party.
Sanusi stated this in Kaduna North-West, on Saturday while speaking on the occasion of the seventh edition of KadInvest.
The ex-monarch said, “I keep repeating, hope you remember that I lost my job at the central bank for this same problem. It is not about a particular party. I have no party. My party is Nigeria.
While addressing the audience he noted, “This is the problem we had in 2014. Asiwaju (Tinubu) knows my party is Nigeria.”
Sanusi lamented on oil theft, Nigeria’s rising debt profile.
He said, “debt service is now 108 per cent of revenue. Every naira the Federal Government earns goes to service debt, and it is not enough, (as the FG) has to borrow to service the debt. And then begin to borrow to build roads, pay salaries and overheads.
“We are leaving a mountain of debt for our children. They (children) might curse us because we are taking all the money borrowed to subsidise petrol and enjoy it cheaply.
“We see the problem and we are going to continue. I’m sorry for the next president who comes in June and says I’m removing fuel subsidy after day one.”
