Are We Really Fair to Sanusi? - Daily Sun In his first reaction after being suspended as Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi made some profound statements. In making reference to the allegations of profligacy and financial recklessness leveled against him by government, he strenuously drew a comparison between his compliance to rules and that of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. The kernel of his statement was that since the NNPC which allegedly spent money on kerosene subsidy in contravention of a presidential directive has not been accused of ‘financial recklessness’, it was ironical for the federal government to accuse him of same. For effect, he added that unlike the CBN whose audits are up to date –even if serious queries have emanated therefrom — the NNPC on the other hand, has not been audited since 2005. Simply interpreted, he was not alone in “financial recklessness.” It follows, therefore, that if President Goodluck Jonathan must suspend Sanusi, he must first fish out all the others like him who allegedly stole their institutions blind and embarked on unapproved and unjustifiable expenditures. Let me admit here that I agree with him. Why single out only one thief from the multitude?
