“And if anybody does not understand that we are in a complete mess, we are. We were in a deep hole in 2015. And between 2015 and now, we have been digging ourselves into a deeper hole.
“We thought we had a big problem in 2015. 2015 is nothing, compared to what will happen in 2023. We have terrorism, we have banditry, we have inflation, we have an unstable exchange rate, and the worst thing is that those in leadership actually think we are going to thank them when they leave office.”
Sanusi lambasted those at the helm of affairs stating that they have no sense of urgency. He stated that the current revenue of the nation cannot even service debt at present.
He decried that they’re so many people out there who are competent and vibrant to do a good job but have been denied the opportunity.
Sanusi blames political leaders for Nigeria's deteriorated condition
Sanusi further lambasted political leaders blaming them for the current crisis that has befallen Nigeria over the past few years.
He described the current crop of Nigerian leaders as those who give more priority to winning elections rather than placing priority on the well-being of the people.
Sanusi said:
“What is our vision for Nigeria? Do we have a vision of one country? Do we have a vision of one united country, that lives peacefully with itself – diverse, multicultural, multi-religious but one? And these things are not self-contradictory. Where did we get it wrong? he asked.
“Leaders after leaders, most of those who have ruled did not have a vision for a united Nigeria. How would you like to be remembered after eight years as a President, after eight years as a governor, eight years as a minister, and eight years as Governor of CBN?"
Sanusi makes witty comment about APC in Nasarawa

His prayer threw the entire atmosphere into laughter including the former President of Ghana, John Mahama who was also present at the event.
