 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon.

 You sacked me as CBN Gov – Emir Sanusi replies ex-President Jonathan


The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, has replied former president, Goodluck Jonathan, that he sacked him as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, contrary to the latter’s claim that he was only suspended for investigation into alleged missing $49.8 billion.


The monarch was responding to Jonathan who had, earlier, at the launch of a book “Public Policy and Agents Interests: Perspectives From The Emerging World,” debunked a claim by him that he was booted out of CBN’s leadership position because he exposed corruption allegedly perpetrated by the government.


Sanusi co-authored the book written by Dr Shamshudeen Usman, who served as Minister of Planning in the Jonathan administration.


Sanusi, who took to the podium hours after Jonathan’s comment, insisted that he was sacked by the former president.


“My boss who sacked me, I was constructively dismissed. I continue to respect Jonathan and I don’t have grudges against anyone,” he said.
