The Hausa-language blog Madubiya claims Muhammadu Sanusi II, the emir of Kano, said Nigerians voted for uneducated leaders and this had led to the decay of the country’s education system.
The 29 October 2019 post claims the emir made the statement at a convocation at Abuja’s Nile University on 28 October.
“It's time we focus on the type of leaders and representatives we have, as you can all see, we have voted uneducated people,” it quotes Sanusi as saying in Hausa.
“We must know the type of people we vote as our leaders and representatives, we should vote for educated people, who value education.”
The post has been shared a number of times on Facebook. But did the emir really say this?
Emir not at convocation
A former governor of Nigeria’s central bank, Muhammadu Sanusi II is often quoted urging better education policies that would put more children in schools, especially girls.
But the emir didn’t say Nigeria’s education system was bad because people voted for uneducated leaders.
“The emir was not in the country when the convocation took place,” Munir Sanusi Bayero, the emir’s chief of staff, told Africa Check.
“He returned on Tuesday 31 October. He has been away for the last three weeks attending various official assignments in different parts of the world.” – Fatima Abubakar
