Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has claimed that Nigeria lost by not having the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo as the President of the country.

Sanusi said the failure of the political system to throw Osinbajo up as president has made Nigeria worse off.

He stated these on Monday while speaking at a book launch titled: “Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of an Innovative Leader.”

Recalls that Osinbajo lost the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential primaries in 2022 to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said 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.

Sanusi said, “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.”
