Emir Muhammadu Sanusi issues a stark warning to Nigeria’s political elite, accusing leaders of sabotaging national progress

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, said on Wednesday that Nigeria’s political class is deliberately sabotaging the nation’s progress, accusing the elite of treating public office as a private inheritance rather than a national trust.

Sanusi issued the criticism in Lagos during the 15th anniversary of Enough is Enough Nigeria, where he delivered a sharp message on leadership failure and public accountability.

Sanusi Issues Stark Warning as he charged citizens to confront the country’s structural decline.

Sanusi said Nigeria has repeatedly missed crucial chances for development because political leaders prioritise personal and family interests over national wellbeing.

He argued that the refusal to embrace reform was not accidental but often a deliberate act designed to preserve privilege within a narrow circle of power holders.

The Emir said the result was a “manufactured” system defined by ethnic rivalries, religious tension and competition for personal gain. He urged young Nigerians to reject this inherited dysfunction and build a nation that fulfils its long-neglected potential.

He said citizens must recognise that the country belongs to them, not politicians, and that each individual bears responsibility for protecting one part of the national fabric.

Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said Nigeria cannot progress unless its youth unite across class, culture and region to articulate a coherent national vision.

He stressed that the country must be rebuilt on values of service, accountability and unity rather than self-interest and division.

He insisted that the path to a stronger nation lies in citizens collectively demanding integrity and purpose from leaders and from themselves.

Sanusi said Nigeria must become a country that competes confidently on the global stage rather than one trapped in cycles of internal rivalry.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
