How 2 Useless Presidential Candidates Will Emerge in 2023, Sanusi Goes Prophetic

  • Muhammadu Lamido Sanusi II has aired his opinion on the call for power to be rotated among geopolitical zones in Nigeria
  • The former Emir of Kano noted that this will bring about a set of candidates who have nothing to give the people
  • Sanusi believes that zoning, as it is properly called, is seriously blinding Nigerian politicians from the issue of competence

The former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Lamido Sanusi II, has picked holes in the craving for rotational presidency now rampant in southern Nigeria.

According to the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday, October 1, those who are making this call are yet to state exactly what they want apart from the ethnic tension the agitation is creating.

Sanusi mentioned that calling for power to be shifted to a particular geopolitical zone is much like cornering the presidency to one part of the country, The Cable reports.

His words:

Sanusi believes that zoning, as it is properly called, is seriously blinding Nigerian politicians from he presidency and some northern governors saying that they want it in the north. Have you noticed that nobody has given the name of what they want?
“This whole thing is to corner the presidency to one part of the country and the big masquerade will come out. And that is why at the end of the exercise, you end up as Nigeria… presented with two useless candidates. Those who want to be president should show their face either from the north or the south."

Meanwhile, Sanusi had revealed that Nigeria made no progress in 40 years. Sanusi who was a former Emir of Kano said this at a colloquium to mark his 60th birthday.

According to him, though he has paid the price for speaking the truth, Nigerians were the ones paying the real price “in form of poverty, insecurity, and high rate of inflation”.

He said:

“Calling me an enemy or critic will not make those facts go away. So, anywhere we go, we must face these facts. I have tried not to say much, not because there is nothing to say or because I am afraid of speaking.
"The reason I have not spoken much in the last two years is because, I don’t even have to say anything anymore, because all the things we were warning about have come."
