The deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, has told the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, that he is not a member of any political party.

Sanusi told Tinubu that Nigeria is his party while speaking on “Improving subnational resilience against global economic chocks” in Kaduna on Saturday, October 15, PM News reported.

Which political party is Sanusi supporting in the 2023 election?

During his address to the audience, in which Tinubu was in attendance, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria said:

“I keep repeating, hope you remember that I lost my job at the central bank for this same problem. It is not about a particular party. I have no party. My party is Nigeria. This is the problem we had in 2014. Asiwaju (Tinubu) knows my party is Nigeria.”
