I will always give my quota to Nigeria no matter what they Do—Lamido Sanusi
Former Emir of Kano and Central Bank of Nigeria’s governor, Lamido Sanusi has promised never to give up speaking the truth or serving his country no matter how hard it is for political enemies.
The former Emir revealed that despite all attempts to shut him up then, present day Nigeria is a vindication of all he tried to prevent as Emir of Kano.
Lamido Sanusi in response to all the troubles that were meted on him, states that he has no regrets but is proud of the accomplishments he has in Nigeria.
The current Khalifah of the Tijaniyat Movement of Nigeria and former monarch went on to state that for him to regrets meant he was not happy with the privileges he had compared to other Nigerians.
The former monarch revealed this while at a stage play for a drama written on him titled ‘Emir Sanusi: Truth in Time’ by Professor Ahmed Yerima and produced by the Chairman, Duke of Somolu Productions, Mr. Joseph Edgar.
“I don’t think that God has taken anything away from me. So, I have no regret.” Lamido Sanusi said.
“I turned 61 years last year and in those years, I had the honour of having been the Chief Risk Officer at United Bank for Africa and the Chief Risk Officer at First Bank.
“I was Governor of Central Bank, Emir of Kano and now Khalifah, Tijaniyat Movement of Nigeria.
“If I have sadness, then I’m ungrateful. How many people have had the opportunity to be just one of those things?’’ he observed.
Detailing the long line of service his family has held in Nigeria, the former monarch revealed on account stating:
“We have a long history of service to this country. My father, as the first Director-General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency, set up the agency in 1960, the record is there to see.
“My parents, grandparents and great grandparents gave their lives to build this country.
“We will continue to devote energy to build this country. It doesn’t belong to anyone; it belongs to all of us,’’ the former Emir stressed.
“History is always the best judge. The things that I said would happen, that caused me so much trouble, have happened.
“For me, I have absolutely no regret and I will continue to speak and voice my views. I will continue to defend this country,’’ he added.
