Politics $30bn Loan: Buhari Replies Emir Sanusi- Get Your Facts Right

[LequteMan]

The Presidency has reacted to a recent comment made by the emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II criticizing the Muhammadu Buhari government on seeking a $30bn external loan.

According to the emir, if Buhari gets the go ahead for the loan, no foreign nation or financial institution would be willing to borrow Nigeria the money, mostly because FG is not implementing the right policies.

However, Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, replied: “With every respect to the Emir, you know he is my ruler, because I come from Kano.

“He doesn’t have his facts as far as those issues are concerned. The issue in CBN, that government has overdrawn its Central Consolidated Account is true, but it is within limits.”

Sanusi does not have his facts right? Are you sure? I am so shocked

@curator The emir left government a couple of years ago

@curator The emir left government a couple of years ago

I hadn't noticed.

OK. This is what I meant.

Emir left a few years ago, so he might be rough around the edges as to what the figures are currently. He probably has a good idea of what the figures are at the moment but he could be wrong by a small margin.

 

[curator]

But his figures were not much better when he was in government

 

[LequteMan]

Doesn't change the fact that he could be a little bit off.
