President Jonathan Lamido Sanusi
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said that Mallam Lamido Sanusi was still the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Fielding questions from a panel of journalists during the presidential media chat in Abuja, Jonathan said Sanusi would only cease to be governor of the bank if found guilty of infractions levelled against him.But he was quick to describe as “unfortunate,” the controversy surrounding his suspension of the Kano State-born banker. He reminded critics of his action that he had absolute powers to do so without recourse to the Senate. The President said he could only revert to the Senate if he intended to sack the governor. He added that Sanusi’s suspension was not in any way connected with the alleged $20bn missing funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Punch News. Watch the video to hear him say Sanusi is still CBN Governor. First Sanusi was suspended or removed and someone else has replaced him almost immediately so Sanusi is as good as removed. This is very contradictory.
