Sanusi said Nigerians are currently living with bandits and Boko Haram.
He disclosed this during the 60th birthday ceremony of former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
According to Sanusi: “For all those who are saying we have to be careful before we get into a crisis, please wake up.
“We are living with bandits and Boko Haram; we are already there.
“We are already in crisis, it has already happened, the question is how do we get out of it.”
Sanusi also blamed leaders for the multi-dimensional poverty in Nigeria.
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said elites in Nigeria are unaware of poverty in Nigeria.
