FOR throwing his weight behind the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, over a major policy disagreement with the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, on interest rate, former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Rowland Owie, has asked the Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi, to abdicate the throne and go into politics.

According to Senator Owie, the Emir of Kano should emulate dignified and respectable emirs like the Emir of Dutse and stop playing with national issues in Nigeria. In a statement made available to Sunday Vanguard yesterday, Senator Owie, who is also a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP said, “I urge the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, to stop playing to gallery with national issues in Nigeria and emulate dignified and respectable emirs like the Emir of Dutse. “As a grade one Traditional Ruler from the north, he should have direct access to President Muhammadu Buhari to advise him instead of doing it in the media. The Emir should know that he is no longer the CBN governor. “He should behave as a father traditional ruler now or abdicate the throne and go into politics.”

It would be recalled that the Emir of Kano, His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi, had at the launch of Afrinvest Nigerian Banking Reports, 2016, threw his weight behind the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, over a major policy disagreement with the Finance Minister on interest rate. According to the Emir, if the MPR was lowered even by 200 bases points, it would not increase credit from banks into the economy as envisaged because of other constraining factors, adding that a lower MPR would imply lower yields on money market instruments which would be a disincentive to investments in the money markets, especially in the fixed income security segment, and ultimately put a restraint on foreign portfolio investment inflows, adding that a lower MPR would fuel inflation further, a situation which was already high.

Thank you senator

GOD bless u

He talks too much

HE has mouth diarrhea

I love the way Obi of Onitsha carries himself with dignity

Abeg tell him very well.
Even the Oni of Ife that is always going upandan don't talk about politics the way this one does, he doesn't talk about the development of his region, always seeing him in the news for blasting the govt or buying a new car.

Sanusi the talkative.

Shut up Senator ....


Sanusi that's even against some of these governments policies openly even when he knows that Buhari is a fulani Muslim like him....


Lamido Sanusi fears no one and always speak the truth....



Every Nigerian has the right to speak...


Where has the Quietness of our religious and traditional leaders led us to since the creation of Nigeria


We now have religious and traditional leaders who keep quiet because they are under the pockets of the executive who give them stipends for thier upkeep



Shutup , Sharrap and Sharrap

I am with owie on this. Sanusi should go into politics instead of his carefully timed public speeches. As an ex-CBN governor he is a statesman and has access to the presidency. How come People like SLS and Soludo who claim to know the way out of our economic woes never take a stance when needed but wait until the govt makes move then they criticize from their comfort? It is obvious these men are being political.

allow Sanusi to talk oh, he still has his freedom of speech and as a Nigerian his free to say his mind when he believes things ain't done the right way. You can't shut him up cause you don't like what he says

Criticism is welcome in a democratic society, if what he is saying happens to be the truth, so be it

If SLS truly understands the economy and has the key to our problems why does he wait for govt to make policies before advicing. Here is a man under whose watch as CBN govt BDCs grew astronomically. Nigeria spent $217B defending the Naira between 2012 and 2014. Why didn't he raise alarm?

I need to help you psychologically

If you may permit me

Please stop all this religious & ethnicity of a thing

It's not good for ones health

Is owie same tribe & religion with buhari

Go out of the shores of africa you will know that

Religion is mostly practise by Africans

N how as it helped in us in our day to day affairs?

We are human first before any religion or tribe

I don't know may be have been able to do justice

When your policy makers are busy squabbling over budget padding leaks, is it not better you shut up and thank God for whichever voice of reason does the job of reaching government with sound counsel, even if they would not want to rub shoulders with scores of scheming aides before doing so?

Must everybody go in for secret closed-door meetings?!

So, Wole Soyinka, Pat Utomi, FEMI Falana, Ohaneze Ndigbo etc also have to seek private audience before they advise on issues concerning us all?!

Leave the man alone and go and thank God for at least making up for your lack of having a voice worthy of yet commanding public attention or directing public opinion instead of all these e-bickering!

Emir Sanusi still has the right to air his views regardless of his position in the society. Before he became an Emir, Sanusi was known as a man who did not mince his words. He obviously has not changed.

He has a knack for watching things he claims to understand go 'wrong' before giving his opinion. What kind of freedom is that if not a political manoeuvre?

Sanusi is not happy with buhari just because of

Kwankwaso.

You think this people fight for the masses course

The answer is NO.

most of the elite in the north don't like buhari

He's only loved by the masses

He blocked them from looting

That's Buhari’s crime to all the elites & there dependants

no comment

This man have been a political critic right from time so you can't shut him up.Sanusi & Shehu Sani are two highly cerebral northerners who will never chose to be sycophants of AGIP.Other northerners should emulate them.The "Sai Baba" is always right zombies are already at work.SMH!

Well...he owns the right to air his opinions on national issues whenever he deems it fit. Sanusi is analytical, he doesn't jump on the bandwagon just to be heard.

And you're not aware of the ongoing looting in the Buhari's government? Where are all the recovery monies thatthis government said it has recovered that it is now planning to sell off our national assets to fund a budget whose year is almost ending?

Are you for real? He is analytical when he things have, according to him, gone wrong. That's not analysis but low form of politics.

are you real bros? Stop being blinded by outlook. SLS is always advicing when things, according to him, have gond wrong. Why advice after the 'damage'? Is that how he was governing CBN as governor?
