Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
According to recent reports, the Federal Government has issued a query to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, demanding an explanation for some of the donations the CBN has made under his watch to some universities and organisations.
The CBN governor was accused of donating about N150 billion to some institutions and interest groups in states controlled by opposition political parties. Some of the donations include the N4 billion given to Bayero University, Kano; N10 billion to Uthman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto; N500 million to the University of Benin, Benin; and N100 million to the Kano State Government.
This beggars the question "why now?" Cos if I can remember, those donations were made donkey months abi years ago. Why is it now that the FG decided to probe those donations. Even a dumb man can sniff out why. It is apparently not unconnected with the recent exposure of NNPC's corrupt practices which was exposed by Sanusi.
But the main reason must be because the FG is hell bent on making sure Sanusi Is disgraced out of office before the expiration of his tenure in March. Remember that as a fallout of the NNPC brouhaha, the President had asked Sanusi to retire abi resign but he refused. I guess this recent action means that Sanusi must resign by fire or force.
