Muhammad Sanusi, a former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and ex-Emir of Kano, has said that the ethno-religious crisis in the country was caused by elites jostling to plunder the nation's resources and not the people, who are affected by the crisis.

Sanusi made this known while speaking at The Platform, an annual conference organised by the Covenant Christian Centre in Lagos, on Thursday.



He said politicians were only fighting for their pockets and in the process instigate deadly crisis that affected the masses.

He said, “Ethno-religious crisis is not so much from Nigerians but the Nigerian elites. We have identities in Nigeria but the construction of opposing identities, the political process, is basically the Nigerian elite competing among itself for a share of the national cake.

“I don’t think that the people who say they are fighting for Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba are really interested. I mean when they get there at the end of the day, it is about them and their families.

“There is nobody out there that is really representing north or south or east. They claim to be if you look out there in the cabinet. In the history of Nigeria, there has never been a government that does not have people from every part of the country.

“So the first thing to recognize is that we must get away from the sense that holding political office is what makes you representative of a people.”

Wetin you no fit sink as long as it is anything against Apc Buhari, Yoruba, Apc, Osibanjo and Tinubu.

Replay dey for you guys

Sanusi should keep quiet.....



Nigeria can never work with different religions and over 525 languages in a single country....



These factors will play out without anybody acting as a role model to it.....



Go to a Fulani man, he will consider his religion first....

Go to a Yoruba man, he will consider his language first

Go to an Igbo man, he will consider his family first....


Many other tribes will consider their religion and then tribe and words before giving out help to others....


Sanusi himself should search his conscience first and should tell us if he has in anytime in life put his religion first before anything ...

Bad governance is one major enabler of insecurity.

Its survival instinct.

Give people good dividends of democracy and watch crime reduce.

They know what they are doing, keep people in poverty and hand them crumbles so they can sing your praises to high heaven. Keep them blind that you are only using 1% of what really belong to them so they can see you as good man/woman!

This is a pure lie we tell ourselves ... leaders. Are a representation of the mind of the people
