The 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, has said that Nigerians “take too much rubbish” from politicians who care less about them.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor urged Nigerians not to allow themselves to be intimidated by either the president, governors or public officials in any way.
Sanusi, whose observation was contained in a viral video, also advised his countrymen not to be intimidated by political leaders.
According to him, if the politicians are not held to account, coming generations may have no country to call theirs.
“We cannot be intimidated by somebody because you are a president or you are a governor, and we cannot tell you that you are wrong,” Sanusi said as the audience cheered him on.
“We have chosen different parts. If I had gone into politics, at least given the people that have access to be president in Nigeria, I could have become president, or I could be governor.
“That I choose not to go into politics does not mean I’m a subordinate human being. This is what we all have to learn as Nigerians.
“We take too much rubbish, and we are all too afraid in our comfort zones. By the time these guys might have finished with us, our children will not have anywhere to call a nation.
“The only way to retrieve our nation and give our children the future they deserve is, if you are not in politics, you must hold those in politics to account,” he added.
