The dethroned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, says he will continue to speak and air his views to defend and rebuild Nigeria.
Sanusi, who doubles as the current Khalifah, Tijaniyat Movement of Nigeria, said this in Abuja on Saturday at a stage play titled “Emir Sanusi: Truth in Time.’’
The 14th Emir said he had what it took to contribute to nation-building because of his long history of service to the country.
He said he served as the Chief Risk Officer at the United Bank for Africa, and First Bank, and also as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria; as Emir of Kano for six years, and Khalifah, Tijaniyat Movement of Nigeria.
“I don’t think that God has taken anything away from me. So, I have no regret.
“I turned 61 years last year and in those years, I had the honor 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.
