Reno Omokri, the former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan has blasted the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, accusing him of being the most manipulative individual.
This, he said, following the call for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari by the dethroned Emir Lamido reminding him that it was his lie of missing $49 billion under President Goodluck administration that brought in the present administration.
Omokri also stated that what the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was suffering was the comeuppance of his dubious acts over the years.
“Today the former Emir of Kano (if it pains him, let him go and jump into the Lagos lagoon), Sanusi Lamido, is calling for the impeachment of Buhari. Has Sanusi forgotten that Buhari was elected because of the lie he told that $49 billion was missing under Jonathan?
Sanusi Lamido is a most manipulative individual, who got his comeuppance because you cannot violate the law of reaping and sowing. His vanity is so legendary that he dealt with a brilliant young technocrat in Kaduna because he referred to Sanusi as “former emir”.”
Recall that the dethroned emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi ll on Tuesday said the constitution gives room for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari for paying millions in fuel subsidies without appropriation.
People’s Gazette quoted him saying “Every year, the government spends millions upon millions of dollars on fuel subsidies without appropriation. Under the constitution, this is enough ground to impeach the President.
“But nobody is holding them to account. The National Assembly is not holding them to account,” Mr Sanusi was quoted by Vanguard to have said at the Nigeria Economic Summit in Abuja on Tuesday.
“Those in government must understand that there are times that you have to make some decisions not because they are popular but because they are right.
“We have to decide to run a developmental state and not a rental state; not a populists state,” the former emir said.
He further said that the Nigerian government was subsidising fuel, electricity at the expense of the growth of education in the country.
“We are pursuing a populist policy: we want to have cheap fuel, cheap electricity, a strong Naira. That is populism.
“At the end of the day, what price are we paying by taking money out of education in order to subsidise petroleum products?” he said.
