The 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, stated after evaluating the state of the nation that Nigerians accept too much Nonsense from politicians who take them for granted.
He warned Nigerians not to fall victim to any form of intimidation from the president or governors.
Sanusi, whose view was captured in a viral video, also cautioned the populace against falling prey to political leader intimidation.
He contends that future generations might not be able to claim their country if the officials are not held accountable.
Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor Sanusi lamented that Nigerians were staying inside their comfort zones out of fear, despite the fact that the majority of Nigerians did not enter politics.
He said: “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.
“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.
“It is not a comfortable situation to be in. When people are incompetent and they don’t like you, you wear their dislike as a badge of honour.
“You can’t be comfortable and feel normal in a distortional environment. And for the young people, do not fail. This is your country, this is your future. Help us build this country."
