Sanusi Accuses FG Of Sensationalising His Comments About Tinubu’s Policies by iwaeda: 11:49am On Jan 19
Muhammad Sanusi II, the 16th Emir of Kano, has faulted the Federal Government’s reactions to his recent remarks about President Bola Tinubu’s policies.

Sanusi said his comments was sensationalised and reduced to one paragraph.

The controversy started last week when the monarch commented on Tinubu’s administration, saying he won’t advise his government on how to tackle the economic challenges facing the country.

Sanusi while speaking at a memorial lecture organized in honour of the late human rights lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, said he started by helping the government but he has now resolved not to help the government again unless the Tinubu government behaves like a friend.

I have chosen not to speak on the economy, or reforms or to explain anything because if I explain it, it will help this government. But I don’t want to help this government. They are my friends, but if they don’t behave like friends, I won’t behave like a friend.”

However, Sanusi’s comments did not go down well with the Federal Government as the FG fired back, saying it does not need the Emir’s stamp of approval on Tinubu’s policies.

In a statement issued by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, the FG said Sansui’s comment was deeply disappointing.

In a counter-reaction via his X handle, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said his statement was sensationalised and misrepresented.

He stated that his comment was taken out of context, adding that the broader message of his speech was reduced to a single paragraph.

He said, “They took one paragraph out of context and sensationalised it; nothing about the nuanced support given to the government. That there are arguments supporting the reforms. That we are paying a price for decades of mismanagement before Tinubu. That there is light at the end of the tunnel. That we should all pray and support the system and talk about the good things happening.”


Sanusi insisted that his speech contained his support for Tinubu’s reforms, and an acknowledgement of the sacrifices Nigerians endure due to years of economic mismanagement.

The man actually didn't say anything other than the FG needs to get credible and trustworthy people to push their policies. Full stop. He neither supported or opposed the stuff. So there's nothing like folding.

Come to think of it, two years that this man has been in office and all he and his supporters have done is defend him, attack his opposition and keep on shouting Peter Obi will never be president.

No achievement other than Tinubu won the election.

God have mercy!

They say they welcome constructive criticisms of this administration; but when such criticisms come, they attack both the messenger and the message.

I stand with HRM, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Leave them alone! Don't advice them again! All I know is that President Tinubu has less than 860 days to handover power to the next person.

I was wondering why the Presidency replied him in the manner they did. Sanusi has maintained his stance about the current policies as an unavoidable necessity.

The truth is that Yorubas hate criticism. But unfortunately they're the ones that criticizes most.

They can't take what they dish out to others.

That's why this country is where it is today.

You are one of the leaders in this country, and your country is going through challenges, yet you say you have suggestions but you will not offer them because the people in power are no longer your friends

Petty, and unpatriotic.

Your advice may not even be better than what the government is doing already. But what if the advice will make the life of tens if millions better? You will deny them because of your stated reason?

If you don't want to advice (which is your right), why did you have to announce it to the world.

What example does this sort of unpatriotic mindset set for young people about 'national interest', 'sacrifice for your country' etc

The valiant men in the military putting their lives on the line and sacrificing to fight off insecurity, should they only do so if they like the government of the day?
