Jonathan the Idi Amin of Nigeria.. Prof Charles Soludo

SignalNG1:
A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Charles Soludo, has said former President Goodluck Jonathan ran the bank like a movie from Uganda under Idi-Amin.

Idi-Amin Dada ruled Uganda with an iron fist between 1971 and 1979 and has been described as one of the most corrupt African rulers.

Mr Soludo said, “Imagine a scenario where a president can order the CBN to create an intervention fund for national stability and CBN literally ‘prints’ say, N3 trillion, and doles it out cash to the Presidency to prosecute an election campaign or for just about anything he fancies. It is a scary thought.

“We are going down a dangerous path that ruins the economy. I don’t know any other country where such is tolerated, except perhaps what I watched in a movie about Idi Amin and his governor of central bank.”

In an interview in the current Business Edition of The Interview, the former CBN governor described the bank as “the ATM of the Presidency,” under Jonathan.‎

He said it was regrettable that in spite of the bank’s statutory independence, it continues to be a victim of high-wire politics, often “electrocuting” the bank’s leadership.

Mr. Soludo said, “Recent revelations regarding the ‘arms-gate’ (short for the $2.1billion scandal involving former NSA Sambo Dasuki) and the apparent abuse of the CBN as ATM by the presidency should get reasonable people thinking.”

The former CBN governor was one of the ten leading business lights featured in the current edition of The Interview, which provides insights into opportunities and threats in business this year, ranging from manufacturing and power, to banking and investment, small businesses, advertising and jobs.‎

Wait Oooh!! So it is CBN/CBN-governor now that doled out cash now and not Nkonjo Iweala via Ministry of finance??

Hmmmmmm.........Jonathan will soon answer una. By the time he is done, this current administration will be so discredited internationally that Buhari would be too ashamed to make another Foreign trip!!

That time they will stop sending lai mohammed or Adesina or Garba; Osibanjo would be forced to become the substantive minister of information, just like Buhari is the substantive minister for petroluem!!

Na that time dem go know say their propaganda license don expire!!!

Soludo : Buhari copied Jonathan's budget.

Wailers be like, we knew it. That's why we call him a dullard afterall..

Soludo : Jonathan turned CBN into Atm machine.

Wailers be like, this man has started running his mouth again. Why can't they just allow our hero enjoy his life. Igbo man without sense.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the WAILERS.

Pidggin:
Anyone who likens our gentle peace loving GEJ to a Tyrant like Indi Amin is a full blooded ZOMBIE!

Yes oh

The peace loving Gej

That allowed his wife and friends unleash violence on people in rivers state that didn't support thier reelection?

Looks like soludo decided to take a swipe at Jonathan after saying that pmb copied jonthan's budget.

This is why I don't take these elites serious? They are too double faced.

modath:


Soludo is a kunu sipping efulefu!!

How dare he besmirch hero's name!

Hero is a saint, he is infallible, his Nobel prize is loading!

I am glad this is coming from him. Remember the praises they showered on him when he said the Budget is a duplicate of Jonathan's.

May Ogun, Sango, Akpan, and Amadioha strike dead anyone who praised him then and curse him now. Iseee!!

Qualer:


portharcourt person, where have you been?

Seriously?

We all know what Soludo's grouse is with Jonathan...

He wasn't made minister when he so craved, He wasn't returned as CBN Governor too

Thesame anger abi disease runs in Obyzeks...

So both of them should shove their opinions deep up their respective Rectums!
