There are strong indications that Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Lamido Sanusi, may be a mole in the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Even though Jonathan sees him as a strong ally in fight against corruption and setting firm agenda for strong fiscal and monetary policies, some close to the President are not comfortable with some of Sanusi’s subterranean activities.

The conviction of some members of Jonathan’s kitchen cabinet is that while Sanusi hobnobs with Jonathan he had and is still, surreptitiously working for the Congress For Progressive Change, CPC, Presidential candidate, General Muhamadu Buhari whom he feeds with insider story of the Government.

“He is a mole. He takes information to Buhari and El-Rufai and portrays the Government in bad light and yet he is still serving under the same Government and brags nobody can sack him.”

A source that was in Kano for his turbaning ceremony said “he was at a meeting with some of his close allies shortly after the ceremony and expressed his dislike for the administration. He started talking after one of his friends asked him his view about the Jonathan’s administration.

According to the source who does not want to be named “he clearly said the administration was finished and that he would back Buhari again if he decides to run. Sanusi said he was just ‘marking time’ with Jonathan. He has been telling people that Jonathan is weak and Buhari is better, he has been bragging that Jonathan cannot remove him unilaterally.”

Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that Sanusi, who championed the need for Islamic banking, had tried at some fora to justify the mayhem by Boko Haram, minimizing the sect’s underline objective, which is Islamization of some sections of Nigeria.

His utterances on the activities on Boko Haram appear to be in tandem with some high profile northern elders like Adamu Ciroma, Shetima Ali-Munguno, and Lawal Keita.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had maintained that the interest free Islamic banking would help tackle the problems of tobacco smoking, alcoholism, gambling and prostitution and others in Nigeria.

Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in an interview with the Financial Times blamed the emergence of the Boko Haram terrorist sect on the 13% derivation allocated to the oil producing states from the federation account. He had told FT “There is clearly a direct link between the very uneven nature of distribution of resources and the rising level of violence.”

In 2010 Sanusi said “If Buhari gets a nomination he will have my vote. I will vote for him not, like some have averred, because he is a northerner and a Muslim or because I think his candidacy is good for the north and Islam; I will vote for him not because I think he will make a good democrat or that he was not a dictator. I will vote for Buhari as a Nigerian for a leader who restored my pride and dignity and my belief in the motherland. I will vote for the man who made it undesirable for the “Andrews” to “check out” instead of staying to change Nigeria.”

Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that Sanusi maintained this position recently during a private meeting with some close friends shortly after his turbaning in Kano.

According to our source, Sanusi donated about N50 million to the Buhari campaign organization before the last presidential election.

President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua nominated Sanusi as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria on 1 June 2009 and the Senate confirmed his appointment on
3 June 2009, in the middle of a global financial crisis.

In parallel to his banking career, Sanusi contributed to the debate over Sharia law. In 1997, Sanusi obtained a degree in Sharia and Islamic Studies from the African International University in Khartoum, Sudan

Sanusi was born on July 31, 1961. His father was a Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the 1960s and his grandfather was Emir of Kano and Islamic Scholar, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi. Sanusi graduated from King’s College Lagos in 1977 and studied at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria earning a BSc in Economics in 1981. He then taught economics at ABU from 1983 to 1985.

Na only God кησω who is who in this country oo but as for me, I will continue to regard dem as birds of d same feathers cos they're into d dwindling facets of our country together. QED

Hmmmmmmmmm.

certain things are indisputable.

Sanusi is extreme in his love for the North and Islam.

His opinions on 13% derivative as precursor of the Boko Haram is known. His introduction of Islamic Banking also validates the fact that he believes Northerners own just Unity Bank which is not very vibrant while the Southerners own the others.

Sanusi openly clamours that the North is marginalized just because GEJ becomes President after the sudden death of Yaradua, he believed that a Northern was supposed to complete "8yrs" rule, an unconstitutional PDP invented abnorm. That is insane.

Sanusi's support in Buhari is, because Buhari through wishes to revert the 13% directive and alter the sharing formula.

The above are infact the reason that Boko Haram, a break away political militia has orchestrated mayhem.

Nigeria, needs a courageous President, someone with the smile of GEJ, the fearlessness of OBJ, the doggedness of IBB and the philanthropy of MKO to; Decentralize powers of the Federal Government, and make each State, autonomous, with 100% taxable resource control. When the Centre is less attractive, every region of Nigeria, will man their oars, and strive to discover their hidden talents, resources, skills and etc, for the good of the people of her regions and States. So help us God.

[/quote] Yeah perhaps. The problem with that is with 100% power with the states, we risk having 36 incompetent bufoons at the same time ala Uduaghan, Orji, Aregbesola and co. The risk seems to be greater with devolution of power.

In response, I will say, Uduaghan is closer to the people of delta state than GEJ is. So the people of Delta State should hold Uduaghan accountable, go after his mother, his father, his cousins and his girlfriend. When this happens, every Governor will sit up.

Till then...
