iheneme: Sanusi's tenure expires in June 2. Have you thought of it that Jonathan could still loot from June 3 till election time?

winniz:
I said he should be given a Sack letter if he refuses to resign he should apply force. GEJ has the right to sack him after all OBJ sacked Ministers during his tenure and their was no process involved, so why would GEJs own be different?

Titiluvly: Sanusi-Hausa

Gej- Ijaw

How does this relate to igbo n yoruba?..som pple sha..Bloody Tribalists,this is about nigeria..

kaeto: this is the depth of blindness that has beclouded a majority of the hungry and jobless yorubas. $49.8b, how much is the annual national budget, how much does Nigeria generate annually from NNPC? Some of you loud mouths sit in your ifa coven to talk big with empty heads and stomach. Channel your frustrations to your lazy nature and leaders. Even when SLS has said it's $10b , you just want to besmirch GEJ's name through your deceit which you inherited from your fore fathers. Your poverty shall know no bounds unless your ananias mentality changes..

revolt: you can't sack a cbn govt Cos hE's statutory mandated to serve 4 4years. except two thirds majority of the Senate sack him.

but I think, they can comfortably Blackfoot, him. which ofcourse they will. he'll serve as a check on illegal funds transfers since he's disgruntled.

he's not going no where, and ofcos he won't be implementing any shitty policies meantime

Thank you very much. People who say the President and Commander-in-Chief does not have the power to remove the CBN governor are either clueless or mischievous. In countries like Nigeria, and much of the developing world (even in places like Russia), there are a million and one ways to by-pass the 'academic' measures put in place to preserve the supposed independence of institutions like the CBN or EFCC. It all boils bown to the temperament and will of the individual in power.

academic measures put in place...

winniz: At Mynd 44

GEJ by March should give him a dismissal letter, If he refuses to resign he should apply force by Locking up his Office and getting him arrested as well, it was GEJ that employed him so if his services are no longer needed he can be sacked as well, Sanusi has always been incompetent to be the CBN Governor for crying out Loud, all his banking policies has always be useless that Mallam should just go.

I wonder what kind and type of education children of now-a-days receive! So, in your mind ministers are the same with a CBN Governor? Didn't you read in the post the mode of appointing and removing a CBN Governor in Nigeria? Anyway, for your information, ministers and a CBN Governor are not in the same shoes; while the latter are political appointees, the former is a professional whose hand lies the economic success or otherwise of the nation. As a matter of fact, appointing a minister of finance as the economic coordinator does not really show a sense of sound judgement. Those in charge of monetary policy would have otherwise be in a better position. I stand to be corrected; i'm not laying claim to this knowledge.

drnoel:

how does this concern igbos? Why do we have people like u on NL who INSIGHT ethnic wars. U will get what u bargained for, just wait let igbos log on and see the rubbish u posted

Tofax: Its unfortunate how we have degraded the office of the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria. This is not about Jonathan but its all about laying a precedent for future reference.God help Nigeria.

winniz:
Yet any anti Yoruba comment other tribes post on nairaland is deleted with immediate effect

lets start our own Biafraland Forum or southland forum so you can leave nairaland forum for people who went to universities etc with minimum 5 credits as against your 5 passes. I guess this is majorly responsible for your one-sided comment and very biased judgement. What do you expect when permanent secretary and wife of cannot express herself in simple English language.

SLIDE waxie: u see, u ibos overrate ur intelligence by trying to compare urself with an intelligent OBJ!

REALLY?

Of course, OBJ will terrorize u with EFCC. But as corrupt as he is, why can't they threaten him like these guys are threatening Jonathan!

Some people got brains, others got stup!dity stuffed into their skulls and covered by a hat!

Think abt it, Jonathan is ball-less. He can't do i thang!

maasoap: The earlier the better most especially with this frivolous projects that have been smuggled into this budget. In addition, some people need to cover their tracks. Otherwise, how do you explain this sudden pre-retirement leave gesture? When there is still $12 billion unaccounted for?

owobokiri: Read pro01 last post. He totally understands where i was coming from. It may not be constitutional but if GEJ is desperate to nail Sanusi, very easy. There are a million ways to skirt around the constitutional inhibitions if a cheif executive wants to have his way at all cost. He mentioned Russia but even before Putin, Yeltsin was able to rocket the Duma with tanks just to have his way. How did OBJ get rid of Dariye and Alams? It is a 'nascent' democracy, dont forget...

winniz:
My friend keep your daft explanation to yourself, how many years is a Minister expected to serve? Yet he can be relieved of his appointment anytime the president wants so you talking about law should know that Nigeria is a Lawless Country and it has always been like that.

abbakacici: because the president has shows nigerian he don't have any b**L to act

ogologodimkpa:
Are you a learner ?

If you don't know let me tell you:
On Nairaland:
APC= Yoruba + Hausa (Anti-GEJ that wants to grab power at all cost) equivalent to-Islam
PDP= Igbo(Pro-GEJ) equivalent to-Christian

All of them are tribalists

Na today ?

You are just a big eediot, which of my post don't you understand? You bunch of APC e-rats are pathetic.

Mayor_of_Lagos: The controversy surrounding the planned exit of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, deepened on Thursday with the governor insisting that he would not quit the post until his term expired on June 2, 2014.

In keeping with his vow, which analysts see as a direct confrontation with President Goodluck Jonathan, Sanusi has said he will not proceed on his terminal leave in March as initially being speculated.The President had reportedly asked the CBN governor to resign immediately because of the alleged deliberate leakage of the letter that Sanusi wrote to him in which the governor accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation of not remitting $49.8bn crude oil revenue to the Federation Account.Sanusi was said to have denied leaking the letter to former President Olusegun Obasanjo or anyone for that matter, and allegedly told the President that he could only be removed by two-thirds of members of the Senate as required by law.The governor reportedly told the President that the letter was available in the Presidential Villa, the Ministry of Finance and the CBN, and wondered how he could be accused of leaking it.

One of our correspondents learnt on Thursday that Sanusi expressed his determination to remain in office until the expiration of his one-term tenure of five years on June 2 during a meeting with top management officers of the bank on Wednesday.The Director, Corporate Communications Department, CBN, Mr. Ugochukwu Okoroafor, confirmed the development in a chat with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Thursday.He said the governor used the opportunity provided by the “family meeting” to clear doubts surrounding the expiration of his tenure.Okoroafor said, “The CBN is an important organisation in the economy of this country and we have to be careful in whatever we do because our actions send a strong message to the economy as a whole.“The governor had a meeting with officials of the central bank and it was like a family meeting; and in that meeting, he made it clear that he is not going anywhere until his tenure expires in June.“He is not proceeding on retirement leave by March as being speculated; rather, he will be retiring on June 2 this year when he will be completing his five-year single tenure.”According to Okoroafor, the CBN governor will formally announce his retirement in March, when his successor is expected to be named, and will remain in office until June 2.

Both chambers of the National Assembly declined comments on the alleged plan by the Federal Government to sack Sanusi.The spokesperson for the Senate, Eyinnaya Abaribe, and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, said the National Assembly would not be dragged into “a mere rumour.”Abaribe, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, said, “The Senate will not make any comment on any issue that is not before it. It remains a rumour until it is properly communicated to the Senate.”Mohammed also said, “I have no comment to make. The National Assembly as an institution will not be dragged into any controversy based on a mere allegation.”Efforts to get the Presidency’s reaction did not yield any positive result as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, did not respond to calls made to his mobile telephone line, nor respond to text messages sent to the same line.

rudedough: PUNCH NEWSPAPER has lost its credibility. It is now known as an APC propaganda media house.

Sanusi may be pleading with the President to reconsider his decision but PUNCH NEWSPAPER and their unceasing propaganda machine are inciting Nigerians that Sanusi is daring the President.

Sanusi has worked hard with the President all these while, he's one of the reason our economy stands at No. 1 in the world today. I think the APC wants the President to sack Sanusi and loose his most valuable assets.

These APC politicians don't care about us or our country's economy, they care more about getting into power. They don't mind playing politics with the future of Nigerians. The desperation is obvious and I am 100% sure Sanusi will not dare the President in anyway. Sanusi is educated and not a thug like ****** the frog eye APC chieftain. Rudedough is not buying this $hit.

Ishsoph:

Thanks for you germane observation my brother. In fact, the Punch write up is dubiously innuendated with recalcitrance from the person of SLS which was not the intent of SLS himself. To buttress this, I want to quote directly from THISDAY News Paper before me now with a large caption on the frontpage entitle: SANUSI STAYS AS CBN GOV TILL JUNE 1, AFFIRMS RESPECT FOR PRESIDENT.

"....however, owing to the impact on the financial markets and the macroeconomy, well-meaning Nigerians who were also concerned that Sanusi's forced departure could send the wrong signals to the international investment community, moved promtly to appeal to the President to rethink his demand that the CBN Gov should be sacked. This intervention THISDAY learnt, was able to lead to a rappraochment, during which Sanusi affirmed his respect for the office of the President and the President, as well as his desire to continue in the interest of the federal government untill he steps down on June 1...."

Punch news papers are twisting it to seem like a dare from the person of the CBN Gov, if not why omit the above quoted lines from THISDAY?

boneruns:

I thought you're studying in UK?

Abu-Maryam:
pro GEJ should advice their pay master to step into houses for the removal of SLS, it has been long when i saw a shameful face. The very moment GEJ makes that fatal mistake will realized the danger ahead of 2015....SLS didn't dare Jonathan to remove him untill he confirmed the underground treaty awaiting. GEJ please Forward to senate you want SLS fired...............Let's see how Abba slowpoke will defend you.......

sucess001:

You scum.bags should shove your bootlicking heads up your smelly arselicking asses!
before it was sahara and premium times that was against GEJ, now its Punch. in short all the press will soon be APC controlled abi?
when everyone says you are incompetent...rather than tell the mugu in power same, you lie to him that hez doing well...
God punish you for failing your children born and unborn.

Chronic amnesia would not allow some nitwits remember how Yar'Adua methodically got rid of Nuhu Ribadu and ran him out of town when he was becoming too big for his britches. What does the so-called law say about removing the EFCC Chairman, and how does it differ from removing a CBN Governor? I believe Yar'Adua (never mind OBJ sef) would have easily gotten rid of Sanusi by now if he were president.

Some of us that are ardent admirers and supporters of Goodluck Jonathan are frustrated by his gentleness, equanimity, and tolerant disposition. Then again, this is why he is regarded as the most democratic leader we have had yet.
