| Sanusi Lamido |
Some civil society
organisations, including the Socio- Economic Rights and Accountability Project
(SERAP) and the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) described
the suspension of Lamido Sanusi as
‘a distraction and can only contribute to shifting
the focus of the government from the real issue, which is finding the missing
$20billion oil money’.
They went on to say
‘that no one should be
victimized for contributing to the fight against corruption, which is the moral
and legal responsibility of any serious,
open and peoples oriented government’.
The chairman of the
Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Alhaji Balarabe Musa said
“ the manner in which the
president suspended the CBN Governor is suspicious and looks like an attempt to
engage in a cover upon the corruption allegedly uncovered in NNPC and also, not
to allow further exposure of corruption by Lamido. I think it is not proper to
suspend Lamido without cogent reasons, otherwise people would suspect that he
has been suspended because he is exposing corruption”.
I am interested in this
because the idea of this blog is to celebrate every Nigerian who dares to fight
corruption. It seems however, from the foregoing, that rather than being
celebrated, the CBN Governor is being victimized for daring to stand out and to
fight against corruption.
He is demanding for
accountability and what does he get ‘SUSPENSION and EVERY ALLEGATION’, be it true or false.
SHOULD THIS BE SO????
It shouldn't be ooooo!!!!!!
