Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has lamented that the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo is not Nigeria’s president.
Sanusi said Nigeria lost by not electing
Osinbajo as its president.
He spoke at the virtual launch of a book:
“Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of an Innovative Leader,” yesterday.
Sanusi said the failure of the political
system to throw him up as president has made Nigeria worse off.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
governor, pointed out that Osinbajo was one of those in the current
administration willing to debate any matter and yield superior argument.
“And I dare say, we all agree that Nigeria is
worse off for not having someone like him (Osinbajo) as president, but I do
hope that he will be available to serve and to advise and to put in his best
for the country and continue to do.
“So I’m sure he will, in whatever capacity he
finds himself in the future, and maybe we’ll still be lucky to have him lead us
at some point or take some leadership role as a statesman,” Sanusi said.
In 2022, Osinbajo had contested for the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential primaries.
Osinbajo contested against the
President-elect, Bola Tinubu; former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi
Amaechi; among others.
The Vice President was heavily criticized by
Tinubu’s loyalists for opting to contest while his alleged political godfather
was in the race.
Osinbajo was described as a threat among
other names for contesting against Tinubu during the presidential primaries.
