Erstwhile Central bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has expressed dismay at the failure of the Nigerian political system to throw up Vice President Osinbajo as president of the country, saying the nation was worse off for that.
Sanusi stated this while speaking at a book launch titled: “Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of an Innovative Leader,” on Monday.
According to the former Emir of Kano, Nigeria lost by not electing Osinbajo as its president.
“the failure of the political system to throw him up as president has made Nigeria worse off“, he said.
Noting that Osinbajo was one of those in the current administration willing to debate any matter and yield superior argument, Sanusi declared;
“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.
“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,” Sanusi said.
