Plz I ask again...is there any need for state house of assembly....?

They are always rubber stamp to the state government so long as they collect día bribe...even if the bill is nonsensical

E.g they sign. Bill to get life pension for governor and themselves..

They signed bill to decentralise a huge historic emirate...

They signed to ban burial burial cost

Politics of hatred. What are they teaching the younger generation coming up?

TheFacelessMan:


They are not bright enough to see that connection.

If rain falls today, it is because God wants to avenge GEJ.

They are sick, to them no forgiveness for Nigerians that rejected the thief.

olajizz01:
The issue of Ganduje being scared of Sanusi is a big lie,he intentionally ignored Sanusi, and it's not in their culture to disrespect their Emirs.

what's your source that Buhari stop the Kano state assembly from probing Ganduje.

Concerning CJN,Onoghen was removed due to illicit money traced to his account, and NJC confirmed it as well,when the custodian of constitution trampled on the same constitution so hard, the worse form of corruption is that of judiciary, so Buhari did a wonderful job there.

I didn't say he was scared of Sanusi. He was scared that he would lose the election, so the last thing he would have done would be to make such a controversial move that would worsen his chances. He couldn't just risk it. Now, he knows he has won, so nothing to be afraid of, again.

I didn't say Buhari stopped the HoA from investigating Ganduje. I was trying to say that he didn't (use his powers to) allow them go ahead with the investigation. Ganduje obtained a fraudulent court order that stopped his investigation and till today, nobody including Buhari did anything about that.

Do you think it was just in January that Buhari's FG and CCB discovered Onnoghen did not declare assets? How come they allowed him continue since 2015 if they were truly fighting corruption?
Is Onnoghen the only serving politician in this administration who didn't declare all his assets? Is that what you really think?

Even the so-called undeclared assets, how much was even there? Thousands of traders in Onitsha Main Market alone are worth much more than the total amount in all of Onnoghen's domiciliary accounts.
So the head of the judiciary should be clean but not the chief executive of a state, abi?

By the way, how come Mr Integrity never showed us his asset declaration form again? How do we know he actually declared all his assets?

We see your handwork..
I hope Sunusi challenge this rubbish..

Kennydoc:

If you meet an African in North Korea, you will see him as a brother. Same will be the feeling if you meet a Nigerian in Iceland, for example. Outside the shores of Nigeria, any Igbo man I meet is like a brother to me.
Ganduje and Sanusi are both from Kano State. They are expected to be closer to each other than Jonathan and Sanusi. That's what I meant when I said they were brothers.
By the way, this below is one of the meanings of brother, according to Merriam Webster dictionary:

Same Dictionary: Brother = a male who has the same parents as another or one parent in common with another.

But of course you’re entitled to your opinion.

Payback Time !!!
Sanusi the Emir of Kano made a controversial statement during February election rerun urging the winner and losers to accept election results.
Meanwhile, Ganduje was trailing before the rerun election and interpreted the Sanusi statement as support for the PDP opponent who was still leading.
But Ganduje eventually won and Sanusi has not congratulated Ganduje because of court case.
Thereafter, Ganduje contacted his in law Gov Ajimobi of Oyo (remember he did the same to Olubadan) who taught him to reduce the Emirs influence by creating more Emirates.
However, the law of Karma has caught up with Sanusi who as a CBN Governor took President Jonathan to court for his suspension before he became the Emir of Kano.
What goes around, comes around !!!
Unfortunately, Sanusi could not run to Jonathan or Obasanjo to save him as he had abused them in the past. A great lesson that No Condition is Permanent !!

These politicians will desecrate anything, no matter how noble. Imagine making a mess of a royal insttution that persist for several centuries. And by a nobody but a old criminal.

Next Level of Karma for the elites who deceived the gullible fools

don't be surprised. 3 of d emirates will be occupied by human beings will d rest will be occupied by animals like cows and goats

goslowgoslow:

The same my brother, my brother you people played under GEJ.......Thrash!!

This is about Sanusi and his people. Be guided. His state people are against him and you say it's the same you played with Gej?
GEJ sacked him cos he wasn't loyal and now the people that he was siding are giving him the short end of the stick.

fyneguy:


GEJ that sacked him as CBN Governor? The one who sacked him was worse than who reduced his influence.

no sense at all

Was he not sacked because he was stealing and felt too big to answer query properly

barcanista:
Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.

Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.

Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud
According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”

The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”


April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe
Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien.
http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587

13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers
High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words...
“Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,”
“The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”.
http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923

Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.

April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy
In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the  Emir of Kano raised an  issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion.
“What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…"
Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)

The FRCN’s report on Sanusi

The decision to suspend the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido was based on a report of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria dated June 7, 2013.

The report was made after a review of Sanusi’s response to the query issued to him by the President over the apex bank’s financial statement of 2012. His response was dated May 20, 2013.

According to a copy of the report obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, the council indicates that the explanation provided by the suspended CBN governor is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”

The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”

The report read: The particulars of the infractions against Sanusi are:

Persistent refusal and/or negligence to comply with the Public Procurement Act in the procurement practices of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

(A) By virtue of Section 15 (1)(a) of the Public Procurement Act, the provisions of the Act are expected to comply to ‘all procurement of goods, works and services carried out by the Federal Government of Nigeria and all procurement entities.’ This definition clearly includes the Central Bank of Nigeria.

(B) It is however regrettable that the Central Bank of Nigeria, under his leadership, has refused and/or neglected to comply with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (PPA). You will recall that one of the primary reasons for the enactment of the PPA was the need to promote transparency, competitiveness, cost of effectiveness and professionalism in the public sector procurement system.

More from: http://www.punchng.com/news/the-frcns-report-on-sanusi/

Sanusi/CBN/FRCN indictment report continued


(C) Available information indicates that the Central Bank has over the years engaged in procurement of goods, works and services worth billions of Naira each year without complying with the express provisions of the PPA.

(D) By deliberately refusing to be bound by the provisions of the Act, the CBN has not only decided to act in an unlawful manner, but has also persisted in promoting a governance regime characterised by financial recklessness, waste and impunity, as demonstrated by the contents of its 2012 Financial Statements.

Unlawful expenditure by the Central Bank of Nigeria on ‘Intervention Projects’ across the country

(A) the unacceptable level of financial recklessness displayed by the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria is typified by the execution of ‘Intervention Projects’ across the country. From available information, the bank has either executed or is currently executing about 63 such projects across the country and has committed over N163billion on them.

(B) it is inexcusable and patently unlawful for any agency of government to deploy huge sums of money as the CBN has done in this case, without appropriation and outside CBN’s statutory mandate. It is trite that the expenditure of public funds by any organ of government must be based on clear legal mandates, prudent costing and overriding national interest.

Financial infractions and acts of financial recklessness committed by the Central Bank as reflected in its audited financial statements of 2012

(A) pursuant to Section 50 of the CBN Act 2007, a copy of the audited financial statements of the CBN for the year ended 31st December 2012 was sent to Mr. President. Based on the issues raised in the financial statement, a reaction was requested from you to enable a proper appreciation of the nation’s economic outlook.

(B) the response to this query was further referred to the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria. The review by the council, rather than allay the fears of government, further confirmed concern bout the untidy manner in which you have generally conducted the operations of the CBN.

Some of the salient observations arising from the review are;

(A) in a most ironical manner, it has become obvious that the CBN is not able to prepare its financial statements using applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFFS) whereas Deposit Money Banks that the CBN is supervising have complied with this national requirement since 2012.

Undoubtedly, this laxity on the part of our apex bank, apart from calling to question its capacity for proper corporate governance, is capable of sending wrong signals to both domestic and international investors on the state of the Nigerian economy.

(B) the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the CBN and other Deposit Money Banks on Banking Resolution Sinking Fund have been breached in a material manner. For example, a Board of Trustees (BOT) to manage the Fund has not been constituted since 2010 when it was established. The CBN has however continued to utilise the Fund for certain operations without approval of the said BOT.

(C) contrary to section 34 (b) of the CBN Act 2007 which provides that the CBN shall not, except as provided in Section 31 of the Act, inter alia, purchase the shares of any corporation of company, unless an entity set up by the approval or authority of the Federal Government,m CBN in 2010, acquired 7% shares of International Islamic Management Corporation of Malaysia to the tune of N0.743 billion. This transaction was neither brought to Mr. President’s attention nor was a board approval obtained before it was entered into.

(D) the CBN has failed or refused to implement the provisions of the Personal Income Tax (Amendment) Act 2007. Accordingly the Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) deductions of its staff are still being computed in accordance with the defunct Personal Income Tax Act 2004, thus effectively assisting its staff to evade tax despite the generous wage package in the CBN, relative to other sectors of the economy.

(E) the CBN had an additional brought forward to General Reserve Fund of N16.031bn in 2012 but proceeded on a boy age of indefensible expenses in 2012 characterised by inexplicable increases in some heads of expenditure during the year. Examples include:

1. The bank spent N3.086bn on “promotional activities” in 2012 (up from N1.084bn in 2011). The bank spent this sum even when it is not in competition with any other institution in Nigeria;

2. The CBN claimed to have expended N20.202bn on ‘Legal and Professional Fees’ in 2011 beyond all reasonable standards of prudence and accountability;

3. Between expenses on ‘Private Guards’ and ‘Lunch for Policemen’, the CBN claimed to have spent N1.257 billion in 2012;

4. While Section 6(3)(c) of the CBN Act 2007 provides that the board of the CBN is to make recommendations to Mr. President on the rate of renumeration to Auditors, the bank has consistently observed this provision in breach and even went to the extent of changing one of the Joint External Auditors without notifying the office of the President.

5. In the explanations offered by the CBN pursuant to presidential directives, it offered a breakdown of ‘Currency Issue Expenses’ for 2011 and 2012. Interestingly, it claimed to have paid N38.233bn to the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting. Company Limited (NSPMC) in 2011 for ‘Printing of Banknotes.’ Paradoxically however, in the same 2011, NSPMC reported a total turnover of N29.370bn for all its transactions with all clients (including the CBN).

6. It is significant to note that the external audit revealed balances of sundry foreign currencies without physical stock of foreign currencies in the CBN Head Office.

Questionable write-off of N40bn loans of a bank

The above issues are only a few of the infractions highlighted by the review and which point to the gross incompetence and recklessness which characterised the operations of the CBN in the period under review.

However, the CBN also claimed that it paid Air Charter, such as payments to Emirate Airline (N0.511bn), Wing Airline (N0.425bn) and Associated Airline (N1.025bn) to distribute currency by air nationwide. Emirate Airline does not fly local charter in Nigeria, Wing Airline is not registered with Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority and Associated Airline does not have a billion turnover for 2011 because upon enquiry, the management claimed that they have no financial statements and have not had any significant operations for the past two years that will warrant preparation of financial statements.

The breakdown also include “Currency Issue Expenses” of N1.158bn and Sundry Currency charges of N1.678bn under “Currency Issue Expenses.” As they are in 2011 so are similar expenses in 2012. These are difficult to understand.

Other areas of fraudulent activities include

1. Facility Management N7.034bn in 2012 (N5.751bn in 2011.

2. Foreign Bank accounts that have been closed offshore were still operational in the General Ledger for over six months after they have been confirmed as closed accounts by the offshore banks.

3. The “Know Your Customer” policy is not properly followed by the CBN to the extent that the CBN has unknown customer with account balance of N1.423bn since 2008. The CBN claim that it is taking steps to obtain the required details regarding the address of the customer.

Wastefulness

1. Training and travel expenses N9.24bn in 2012 up from N7.65bn in 2011.

2. Expenses on “ATM offsite policy change” came to N1.045bn.

3. Expenses on “Non Interest Banking” N1.359bn in 2012 up from N0.977bn in 2011.

The CBN is still very heavy on expenses on “Project Eagles” spending N0.606bn in 2012 up from N63m in 2011.

Expense on newspapers, books and periodicals (excluding CBN’s publications) is N1.678 billion in 2012 up from N1.670bn in 2011,

It pains more when your brother is the one that wants to reduce your influence

How are they related please?

FearGodinall:
All those that conspired against GEJ are all having their own pond of flesh.What a karmam

Yes o. And that includes the Cameroonian Abubakar Atiku, he's also getting his own .

lawman88:
I don't pity him. He is an enemy of GEJ and by extension, southerners. May more confusion arise among KANO elites

See myopic thinking! Because you feel he is an enemy of GEJ(one man), he is by extension an enemy of all southerners. This is why you guys will never grow!

Mk93:

mumu will there be an emir of the entire Kano again?

Ekpa

The idea probably came frm his inlaw, former gov of Oyo State... that idiot did same in Ibadan!

MXr8p:
I like the way everyone that fought GEJ is testing the disaster called Buhari/Ganduje.

Now they will all know that GEJ was/is a democrat

you kids are really senseless. Sanusi fought for you and I and not against gej. Who da fvck that you all think that everything that happens is because someone somewhere fought gej? After gej humiliated him, he still welcomed him in kano. In fact sanusi told everyone how gej is not the kind of politician that could kill .

fyneguy:


GEJ that sacked him as CBN Governor? The one who sacked him was worse than who reduced his influence.

He was sacked few months to the expiration of his tenure as CBN governor, a temporary office.

His power is now whittled down as an emir, which is like being dead while still alive

If Ganduje know the honour and prestige attached to the Kano emirate council even before he was born. He wouldn't have thought about what is doing presently but unfortunately politics takes away righteousness while power intoxicate it's transients occupiers.

HisSexcellency:

The speed with which i signed it into law indicates he has a hand in it. This is politics my friend, the hand of Esau bit the voice of Jacob.

Well we all know it's all about interest. If u were in his shoes you'd do same or even worse.

Governor Ganduje said the new arrangement would make the traditional institutions closer to their subjects. And bring development to the people. Too much power is not good. Stop looking at it from one angle people, I’m looking at the angle of development.

When politics interferes with Traditional or Religious patterns....... The results or consequences are the same anywhere in the world

I pity Kano and I pray it doesn't end up like Borno

MXr8p:
I like the way everyone that fought GEJ is testing the disaster called Buhari/Ganduje.

This one is in severe pains. You are yet to forget and recover from the paralysis even after 4 years of change and we have moved into next level section. We really dealt with you people.
