Former Kano Emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has lamented the fact that Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, is not the country’s president.
According to Sanusi, Nigeria lost by not electing Osinbajo as president.
He spoke at the virtual launch of a book, “Osinbajo Strides: Defining Moments of an Innovative Leader,” yesterday.
Sanusi claimed that the failure of the political system to elect him as president has harmed Nigeria.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, stated that Osinbajo was one of those in the current administration willing to debate any issue and produce a superior argument.
“And I dare to say that we all agree that Nigeria is worse off without someone like him (Osinbajo) as president, but I do hope that he will be available to serve, advise, and continue to do his best for the country.”
“So I’m sure he will, in whatever capacity he finds himself in the future, and maybe we’ll still be lucky enough to have him lead us at some point or take some leadership role as a statesman,” Sanusi said.

Osinbajo ran in the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2022.
Osinbajo ran against President-elect Bola Tinubu, former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi, and others.
Tinubu’s supporters chastised the Vice President for running while his alleged political godfather was in the race.
Among other things, Osinbajo was described as a threat for running against Tinubu in the presidential primaries.
