Sanusi/Buhari
By Isaac Daniel
The former Central Bank Governor, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has slammed former President Muhammmadu Buhari, for his gross
failure to put in place qualified human and natural recourses needed to make Nigeria’s economy boom during his eight years tenure.
Sanusi ll, the 14th Emir of Kano, said that former President Buhari-led administration failed Nigeria woefully in building very prosperous economic growth with mediocre economic personnel.
He noted Buhari treated the economy without recourse to experts’ advice. According to the former Managing Director of First Bank, ”sycophants” that surrounded Buhari, exploited the system, bought dollars at N400 and sold at N540, adding that an “inexperienced boy” owned a jet under the past administration.
He explained that borrowing by the Buhari-led administration had crippled Nigeria’s economy, urging the citizens to be patient with the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu, he pleaded
“The last eight years, Nigeria led a false life, the government borrowed from within and without. About N30 trillion was borrowed from the Central Bank,” he said.
“All the revenue the country generated in the last few years couldn’t service debt. Debt service exceeded 100 per cent. Government borrowed to service debts. No country can grow this way. Time will come when one cannot borrow any more. Additionally there will be nothing to pay debts.
“Those writing, demanding that we speak on the current situation in the country; this is not the right time for me to speak. It was like a driver on the road driving recklessly despite a wise counsel telling him of a crater ahead. What will you tell after plunging the car into the hole?
“People refused to listen to us then. We will only now advise them to be patient. I will never say Tinubu has pushed Nigeria into difficulty. I am not saying he is flawless or flawed. We will speak when he goes astray. The government can’t pay subsidies since it doesn’t have the means.
“If they add tax, we have to pay since borrowing is impossible. If the CBN printed more naira, the dollar would jack up to N1,500. We must suffer. When I was the CBN governor it was N150. Today it’s somewhere around N900.
“They treated the economy the way they wanted and refused to listen to experts. In the last eight years only sycophancy succeeded. The sycophants bought dollars at N400 and sold N540. An inexperienced boy who had never worked anywhere owns a private jet”, he lamented.
