A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and erstwhile Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, has said that he was not interested in contesting for president of Nigeria in 2023.
Lamido who spoke at a special 60th Birthday dinner, organized by the Nigeria Platform (NP) in Abuja on Sunday night said had he nursed ambition of becoming Nigeria president, people would have known.
“I never hid the fact that my ambition was to be the Emir of Kano. In fact, I have never hidden my intentions about anything. So if I say I am not interested in politics, it is because I am not interested in politics,” Lamido said.
“If I wanted to go into politics, I will come out and say I am contesting for the President of Nigeria. I am a Nigerian. But I am not interested. This is because I hav’nt prepared myself for politics, amidst remarks my guests, suggesting that he would be supported if he showed interest in becoming Nigeria’s president.”
Lamido is respected due to his intelligence and several accomplishments.
