The former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi said it would be unfair to blame President Bola Tinubu for the hardship Nigerians are undergoing.
Speaking on Sunday during a virtual religious event, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Sanusi argued that there was no other option than to remove the subsidy on fuel by President Tinubi.
He blamed the current hardship in Nigeria on former President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, Buhari’s administration failed to heed his counsel on how to rescue the country from economic woes.
Sanusi also vowed to criticise Tinubu if he sees any wrong economic policy in the future.
He said, “If I am to be fair and just to President Bola Tinubu, he is not to blame for the current hardship; for eight years, we were living a fake lifestyle with huge debt from foreign and domestic debts.
“I can’t join other Nigerians criticising Tinubu on the current economic hardship, and I am not saying he is a saint free from wrongdoing, but in this current economic situation, President Tinubu is not to be blamed.”
