The Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Tunde Bakare, has accused the President Goodluck Jonathan-led federal government of selective justice in the suspension of Lamido Sanusi, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
In his sermon on Sunday in Lagos, Mr. Bakare said the suspended CBN governor was a victim of delayed whistle blowing, adding that he ought to have spoken out during the 2012 fuel subsidy fraud crisis.
“Make no mistake about it, few men have the courage of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,” said Mr. Bakare, the head pastor of The Latter Rain Assembly.
Few men have the aristocratic dignity of a man who time and again, while in public office, raised his voice against profligacy and monetary imprudence especially among the legislators and sometimes among the executive; perhaps, no serving government official has been as outspoken against misgovernance as the suspended CBN Governor,”
“However, when the CBN, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the PPPRA, the NNPC and other agencies provided conflicting figures as to actual subsidy payments to the Ad-hoc Committee on the management of fuel subsidy, that may have been the opportune time to blow the whistle.
Perhaps Sanusi Lamido Sanusi at the time did not have the facts he now has; perhaps, cautious and tactical in his fight against the corrupt system, he was conscious of the sensitivity of his office especially as regards the need to preserve the stability of the economy; perhaps, he had waited for a more appropriate time,”
Bakare accused the federal government of shielding the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, an agency he described as “the mountain of public corruption in Nigeria.”
The federal governor suspended Mr. Sanusi from his post as CBN Governor over allegations of “financial recklessness and misconduct” against his bank.culled
