UPDATE: President Jonathan Finally Goes After Mallam Sanusi

For daring to expose corruption in President Jonathan's government, Sanusi is now in big trouble...

Following its decision to "deal with" the CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido, The presidency has issued a query to him demanding an explanation for some of the donations the CBN has made under his watch to some universities and organisations. This is the first step to deal with the "stubborn man"!

Here's what a source close to Jonathan said about Sanusi:

“This man is simply playing a dangerous political game. He openly romances the opposition and attacks the integrity of his employers. Do an analysis of the CBN governor’s speeches at a birthday colloquium of a notable opposition political leader in the South-west last year as well as what he said at the book launch of the spokesman of the main opposition party in Abuja, and that will show you the mindset of a man who is supposed to be the chief economic adviser of the federal government.”

A top presidency official, who sought not to be named, confided in THISDAY that the federal government was forced to issue the query as a result of its concern over Sanusi's activities, which have portrayed him as a man working to undermine the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

According to him, Sanusi has engaged in what he described as unprecedented politicisation of his office as well as serial infractions of regulations governing the operations of the central bank.

He said the presidency was worried by the way and manner Sanusi had been donating money to communities and institutions in the name of the central bank without adherence to due process.

The source claims that Sanusi has been holding meetings with politicians, especially the opposition parties and making statements capable of undermining the integrity of the nation’s financial institutions.

But all these allegations are coming after Sanusi rebuffed the president, saying only the Senate could remove him from office by a two-thirds vote as required by the constitution of Nigeria.
