But I am not going to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have chosen not to speak about the economy or the reforms or to even explain anything because if I explain, it would help this government, but I don\u2019t want to help this government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know they\u2019re my friends, but if they don\u2019t behave like friends, I don\u2019t behave like a friend. So I watch them being stooges. And they don\u2019t even have people with credibility who can come and explain what they are doing. I am not going to help. I started out helping, but I am not going to help. I am not going to discuss it. Let them come and explain to Nigerians why the policies that are being pursued are being pursued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople were told decades ago that if you continue along this path, this is where you\u2019re going to end up, and they refused to open their eyes. Now, is everything being done today correct? No,\u201d the Emir said.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST recalls that Emir Sanusi, who was deposed as the 14th Emir of Kano in 2020 by then-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the current national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, was reinstated as the 16th Emir of Kano in 2024 by the New Nigeria Peoples Party-led Kano State Government.<\/p>\n<p>His emirship has faced ongoing challenges from forces believed to be backed by the federal government, including federal officials\u2019 continued recognition of his predecessor, Emir Aminu Ado Bayero.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST recalls that last month, the police barricaded his palace, with the state government accusing the federal government of being responsible for the action to stir unrest in the peaceful state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
