Africa press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Former Emir of Kano, Muhammed Sanusi, has insisted he has no plans to run for any political office in the country.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the 2023 general elections, there have been speculations that Sanusi could emerge as one of the candidates.<\/p>\n
However, in an interview on Arise TV on Friday, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), said he has no interest in politics.<\/p>\n
Instead, he will be running a fellowship programme at Oxford University in the United Kingdom in October.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have been talking to me about politics when I was in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I have never had an interest in partisan politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nature of my family is that we consider ourselves the leaders of the poorer people and you know politics can be very divisive.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I can say is that it is not an objective for me. I think there are many ways of being of service to the nation. I started as an academic and after just two years, I completed my masters and went into banking for some reasons. I have been a banker, a regulator, an emir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
