Our total revenue is not able to service our debt. And if anybody does not understand that we are in a complete mess, we are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were in a deep hole in 2015. And between 2015 and now, we have been digging ourselves into a deeper hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought we had a big problem in 2015. 2015 is nothing compared to what will happen in 2023. We have terrorism, we have banditry, we have inflation, we have an unstable exchange rate, and the worst thing is that those in leadership actually think we are going to thank them when they leave office, that we are going to appreciate them. There is no change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no sense of urgency. If you are running a company and your sales revenue cannot pay interest, you know you\u2019re bankrupt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the total revenue of the Federal Government cannot service debt we are smiling. These are the kinds of questions we need to ask. And the reality is that there are so many Nigerians, who, given the opportunity will do well but they simply cannot contest in that space,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, hinged the challenge on the lack of vision of some of the country\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWhat is our vision for Nigeria? Do we have a vision of one country? Do we have a vision of one united country, that lives peacefully with itself \u2014 diverse, multicultural, multi-religious but one?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeaders after leaders, most of those who have ruled did not have a vision for a united Nigeria. How would you like to be remembered after eight years as a President, after eight years as a governor, eight years as a minister, eight years as Governor of CBN? How will you like history to remember you? They have not thought about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vast majority of those in office have a vision that is limited to the next election. It is to win. And when you\u2019ve won, you\u2019ve reached a destination, not a journey.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muhammadu Sanusi Lamido II, former Emir of Kano, has expressed great concerns about the current state of the country.
