KANO, Nigeria — The Emir of Kano and former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Muhammadu Sanusi II, has cautioned ministers and presidential aides against becoming praise-singers, urging them instead to provide the President with truthful and constructive advice that can help address the nation’s economic challenges.
Sanusi made the remarks while speaking at a public event, stressing that the culture of sycophancy within government often prevents leaders from receiving the honest feedback necessary to make sound policy decisions.
“Those around the President must tell him the truth, not what they think he wants to hear,” the Emir said. “When advisers and ministers become praise-singers, they fail in their duty to the nation.”
He emphasized that Nigeria’s economic recovery depends on the government’s ability to embrace transparency, accountability, and evidence-based policy, rather than political loyalty or flattery.
Sanusi, a long-standing advocate of fiscal discipline and institutional reform, reiterated his call for responsible leadership and integrity in public service, warning that the consequences of ignoring sound advice could deepen the country’s economic woes.
