Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has accused Nigeria's political elite of deliberately undermining the country's development by treating public office as a personal and family enterprise.
Speaking on Wednesday at the 15th anniversary celebration of Enough is Enough EiE Nigeria in Lagos, Sanusi said the political class has repeatedly squandered national opportunities because its priorities are self-serving.
"We have done enough damage, and maybe we need to stop. Sometimes these are not just missed opportunities they are deliberately missed opportunities," he told the audience.
