What did the law say about a CBN Governor and contesting for a political office? Let's start from there.

What we are talking about now is that does the president have the power to unilaterally sack or suspend the CBN governor. That is the bone of contention

If the CBN governor violated the law by contesting for the office of the president while still holding on to his position as the central bank governor, there is a process through which he can be removed, that process was not followed here

Ofunaofu:


How can you say you don't care

The law is being violated and you say you don't care

Tomorrow you might be a victim, who will speak for you.....

shut up already!

Ofunaofu:


I was expecting you to provide sections of the CBN act that empowers the president to unilaterally sack or suspend the CBN governor

Not some "Jonathan started it" kind of response

The constitution gave the president the power to appoint, suspend and fire. The CBN Governor is an appointee of the president and there’s no section of the law that said he can’t be suspended.

seunmsg:


Jonathan started it and that’s a fact. Apart from the precedent set by Jonathan, the interpretation act is also there.

What is the interpretation act

Nice explanation

We didn't see you open a thread to that effect? Why?

Not true

Go back and read the CBN act

The president cannot unilaterally sack the CBN governor

Ofunaofu:


Not true

Please did the President sack the CBN Governor?
Suspending him is not against the constitution.
After the investigation if he is not found guilty then he come back to his job.

Ofunaofu:


What is the interpretation act

The interpretation act is an act of parliament. It is the law that interprets all laws including the constitution. If Emefiele feels he has been illegally removed, he should go to court. The court is there for all aggrieved citizens.

Zxcvbnmghtr:


We didn't see you open a thread to that effect? Why?

Because it an APC affair and we thought Buhari will deal with it accordingly to the law

Ofunaofu:

And since he didn't. You should have opened a thread to that effect just as you have done right now with President of an APC extract by the name Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In Nigeria, suspension is the Euphemism of sack

Besides, what is he being investigated for

Ofunaofu:
"According to Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act, the President shall remove the CBN Governor from office provided that the governor’s removal shall be supported by a two-thirds majority of the Senate praying that he be removed".

Hope this is not political vendetta

🗑️

This clause is about removal. Not suspension

Ofunaofu:

Suspension is technically and legally different from removal

Zxcvbnmghtr:


And since he didn't. You should have opened a thread to that effect just as you have done right now with President of an APC extract by the name Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The reason for this thread is to ascertain whether his sack or suspension was done in line with the law

No ill feelings bro

Ofunaofu:

The President didn’t do anything contrary to the Constitution.
Don’t try to twist it.

There is what called VETO POWER in law. Ofunaofu don't worry Peter Obi and Atiku that were supporting him will fight for him.

Ofunaofu:

So when you know this…

Why were you asking for the loophole?

Why call it sack… when you can suspend the man… tell him to go home and NEVER call him back!

Globad:


Suspension is technically and legally different from removal

That is English language

But in Nigeria, it is different. Totally different

I can't remember in Nigeria where a public official was suspended from office and later returned to that same office

Ofunaofu:
"According to Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act, the President shall remove the CBN Governor from office provided that the governor’s removal shall be supported by a two-thirds majority of the Senate praying that he be removed".

Hope this is not political vendetta

Did the president remove him ? When did suspension became remove? And tomorrow you will be claiming you know everything in education than others

Parachoko:
Tinubu didn't remove him

He's only suspended

Exactly!

Zxcvbnmghtr:

Is it stated in the CBN act that the president can use his VETO POWER to sack or suspend the CBN governor

Ofunaofu:


That is English language

But in Nigeria, it is different. Totally different

Now you are catching up fast…

Stop embarrassing yourself and your school

We all know he has been sacked technically

Ofunaofu:

Was he suspended or was he sacked?

Ofunaofu:

please stop embarrassing yourself and your school in a public forum

He wasn't sacked , he was suspended gerriiiit?

Zxcvbnmghtr:


Was he suspended or was he sacked?

That is not the purpose of this thread

We are here to discuss whether the president can unilaterally sack or suspend the CBN governor without the support of two-thirds majority of the senate

Ofunaofu don't worry Peter Obi and Atiku will come for the rescue. They were his supporters.

yarimo:

Yarimo, can the president unilaterally sack or suspend the CBN governor without the support of two-thirds majority of the senate

Ofunaofu:

I can see you are now avoiding me. Go and read the interpretation act and stop embarrassing yourself. Attached is a screenshot from the law. The president can suspend anyone he appoints.
