The Federal Government has said that its economic reforms are on course in spite of doubts by the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. It said it does not need Sanusi’s stamp of approval for its laudable policies.
It asked Sanusi to say the truth about the government’s bold economic progress despite his “shift in loyalty”.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, replied Sanusi who at a function in Lagos on Wednesday wrote off the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Minister said there was no point for Sanusi to engage in divisive rhetorics because he “feels estranged from his friends in government.”
The Minister said: “The Federal Government notes the recent remarks by His Highness, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, regarding the economic reforms introduced under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, at a public event in Lagos.
He added: “It is pertinent to state that Nigeria is at a pivotal juncture where bold and decisive actions are necessary to tackle entrenched economic challenges. This administration has implemented transformative reforms not because they are easy, but because they are essential for securing Nigeria’s long-term stability and growth, as Emir Sanusi had consistently advocated.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration remains resolute in its mission to lead Nigeria towards economic inclusivity, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
Let history record this moment as a turning point—when leaders and citizens alike choose to prioritize the nation’s destiny over personal gain. Together, we will deliver on the promise of renewed hope and a better Nigeria for all.
