The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that he will not help the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu tackle the economic challenges facing the country.
The 16th Emir of Kano stated this on Wednesday at the 21st Memorial Lecture of Chief Gani Fawehimi held in Lagos State.
Sanusi, who was the Chairman of the event, said: “I can give a few points here about what we are going through and how it was predictable and avoidable.
“But I am not going to do that.
“I have chosen not to speak on the economy, or reforms or to explain anything because if I explain it, it will help this government.
“But I don’t want to help this government.
“They are my friends, but if they don’t behave like friends, I won’t behave like a friend.
