TALK ABOUT DRAMA FOLLOWING SANUSI'S EXIT AS CBN GOVERNOR AND YOU GOT!
As controversy
rages over the suspension of Mallam Sanusi Lamido, a renowned economist,
Professor Pat Utomi has berated the tenure of Lamido as a Central Bank
governor, describing his original appointment as “a huge mistake”
Reacting to the
suspension of the controversial apex bank chief in a chat in Abuja, the
Director of Lagos Business School, said Sanusi should never have been
appointed as a Central Bank governor in the first place, declaring “it
should not have happened”
Utomi joined
two Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana and Chief Mike Ozhekome
who had issued legal positions on the suspension of the apex bank
chief.
While Falana
blamed Sanusi for not resigning when so directed by President Goodluck
Jonathan, Ozhekome cited alleged infringements of extant rules to
justify Sanusi’s suspension.
Utomi, however,
faulted the nomination and appointment of Sanusi five years ago on the
ground that the suspended bank chief lacked certain qualities of a
Central Bank Governor
Utomi said: “It
should not have happened. Sanusi’s appointments was wrong in the first
place. He was not suitable for the job. CBN governors all over the World
are men of great discretion in actions, pronouncements and deeds.”culled
