The former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, says that he has no political party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Sanusi made this known on Saturday in Kaduna State on the occasion of the seventh edition of KadInvest, an annual event organised by the Kaduna State Investment Promotion Agency.
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) added that even the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, is aware that he is non-partisan.
Sanusi also lamented oil theft, Nigeria’s rising debt profile, unbalanced subsidy payment and soaring foreign exchange, amongst other monetary and economic challenges facing Nigeria at the moment.
He called for transparency and credibility in the management of the nation’s resources and demanded the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, saying the company is not a cash cow but should be run as an independent enterprise with high-level accountability.
“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. This is the problem we had in 2014. Asiwaju (Tinubu) knows my party is Nigeria,” he said whilst addressing the audience including Tinubu.
