However, many Nigerians believe the CBN governor was axed because he exposed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, as an harbinger of corruption and financial mismanagement, diverting huge federal revenues accruing to the nation from the sale of crude oil.
Mr. Sanusi says as much as $20 billion oil money is missing.
Sanusi however on his arrival from Niger promised to challenge Mr President in court concerning his sack. In his words..
|"I will not go back to it. I think it will be in the interest of the institution for the courts to establish once and for all if the president has the powers to do this. If it is not challenged, the next Central Bank Governor cannot be independent with fear of being suspended by a politician. I do plan to have the courts confirm if indeed that authority exists and I will challenge it"
NigerianEYE also reported that some officials of the State Security Service, SSS, seized the travelling documents of suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, shortly after he arrived Lagos from Niger, where he had gone to attend a meeting of governors of central banks in the West African sub-region.
He was released later, while his travelling documents remains seized. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

If only GEJ was advised that what CBN needed is an astute economist and not just a banker, we would have been better for it. CBN headship goes beyond dealing with commercial banks. It encompasses the generality of our economy. Bankers will only concentrate on Commercial Bank issues and their interest only to mess up the entire economy. Sanusi actually tried. Let the new man build on the good policies of his predecessor.

ReplyDeleteGEJ did act this fast when Miss Oduah was accused of fraud in the aviation ministry and went quickly on the Gov. Of C B N. Something is wrong here. What of the N N P C or are they too not affected? That surely went to show how G E J is fighting corruption!

ReplyDeleteWith this new development cant the APC now use SANUSI LAMIDO the crown prince of kano as there PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE while some one from the SOUTH-SOUTH as RUNNING MATE .....................pls just a subjection
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think lamido sanusi didn't seek another 4year term as the governor? He doesn't really like the politics rather he wants to be the next emir of kano!
DeleteIts better for him o. Let him go for emir of kano for life till death do dem part. Why does he want that position? Its also a big position, if sanusi is not corrupt why didn't he become permanent iman in d mosque why emir where he will be seeing chuachua. They are thieves jare
DeleteGEJ Pardoned Alams & Bulama, Ignored Tehidi, Diezani & Stella but Sacked Salami and Sanusi. Do you know what this Mean?
ReplyDeleteI have very high regard to the appointment of Mr. Emefiele as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. My disappointment to the appointment is the fact that Mr. Emefiele is an Igboman which goes along way to confirm that the Igbos now headed practically all the financial structures of Nigeria. I am not a tribalist but my concern is why this appointment when the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Security Exchange Commission, Ministry of Finance, etc are all headed by the same tribe! I would advise the President to review my observation with good intention never to have the belief of tribal sentiment. There are other capable Nigerians even among the minority tribes in the country. In passing, I pray for the best man to handle the affairs of the Central Bank of Nigeria because Nigeria is not alone and the entire world is watching the out come of the suspension of Mallam Lamido Sanusi.
ReplyDeleteGEJ may be corrupt............No one contest this.
ReplyDeleteBut Mallam Sanusi may be another corrupt symbol too.Let him be audited as see whether he is clean as most of the anonymous above are claiming.
I concur to that jare, he should be audited too, d last year 2013 he bought two mighty building in maitama abuja, demolished one and rebuild and make d 2nd one a garden.

Even if GEj is ur junior brother my sanusi for the fact is the head of states, u have to show him some respect. With due respect sanusi u are rude. Let be frank. U are not the owner of CBN. Learn how to mind your business o. When u manage get anoda appointment. Bikko
