Ofunaofu:


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

You see how you are running in circles?

Ofunaofu:



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

Please I don't have your time now

seunmsg:


I can see you are now avoiding me. Go and read the interpretation act and stop embarrassing. Attached is a screenshot from the law.

I am not avoiding you......

Did the president remove the CBN governor based on the interpretation act you are quoting.

Seunmsg, I don't expect you to accept that the president broke the law, because to you he can do no wrong

yarimo:
Please I don't have your time now

You are running away

Because you have been held by the jugular

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

What does constitution say about suspension?

Ofunaofu:





You are running away

ok

Ofunaofu:


I am not avoiding you......

Did the president remove the CBN governor based on the interpretation act you are quoting.

Seunmsg, I don't expect you to accept that the president broke the law, because to you he can do no wrong

Yes, he was suspended in accordance with the interpretations act.

Ofunaofu:


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

What you quoted is legal and that's what I've responded to

ImperialYoruba:


What does constitution say about suspension?

Well, I did expect you to provide sections of the constitution that talks about suspension

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

Interpretation Act: Section 11.

Appointment:

(1) Where an enactment confers a power to appoint a person either to an office or to exercise any functions, whether for a specified period or not, the power includes−

(a) Power to appoint a person by name or to appoint the holder from time to time of a particular office.

(b) Power to remove or suspend him;

(c) Power, exercisable in the manner and subject to the limitations and conditions

(if any) applicable to the power to appoint−

(i) To reappoint or reinstate him;

(ii) To appoint a person to act in his place, either generally or in regard to specified functions, during such time as is considered expedient by the authority in whom the power of appointment in question is vested.

seunmsg:


Yes, he was suspended in accordance with the interpretations act.

Really

Wow!

The CBN governor suspended according to the interpretation act

Then why is the CBN act saying that the president would need the support of two-thirds majority of the senate to be able to sack the CBN governor

Ofunaofu:



Really

Wow!

The CBN governor suspended according to the interpretation act

YES.

Ofunaofu:



Really

Wow!

The CBN governor suspended according to the interpretation act

Yes. The interpretation act interprets all act of the National Assembly including the CVN act. I’m sure you are just hearing this fir the first time.

What happens to the CBN act

Ofunaofu:


Then why is the CBN act saying that the president would need the support of two-thirds majority of the senate to be able to sack the CBN governor

Is suspension a sack?

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

Jonathan removed Sanusi, not even suspending him. Now the president can suspend CBN, but cannot remove without senate approval. But as I said, Sanusi was removed without senate approval.

seunmsg:


Yes. The interpretation act interprets all act of the National Assembly including the CVN act. I’m sure you are just hearing this fir the first time.

Yes I am

So the interpretation act supersede all act of the National assembly of which the CBN act is one

No matter how you look at it, the president will still need the support or approval of two-thirds majority of the senate to make this sack legal. Don't you think so

sapele914:
Is suspension a sack?

In Nigeria, suspension is the Euphemism for sack

FACT

Ofunaofu:


Well, I did expect you to provide sections of the constitution that talks about suspension

There is none.

President Tinubu has suspended him. The order stays.

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

he was suspended not removed. Simple English.

Ofunaofu:


In Nigeria, suspension is the Euphemism for sack

Assumption.

Assumption, Presumption, anyone.

it is na

ImperialYoruba:

Then he just broke the law and should go to jail for it

Two wrongs don't make a right

Ofunaofu:

Suspend him on Friday, National Assembly does the needful on Tuesday.

Godwin Emefiele is toast any way you choose to look 👀 @ it, he has overstayed his welcome.

Ofunaofu:


We are talking about the law

Is Nigeria a lawless country

You are not talking about the law, you are only stating your own flawed and half-backed opinion.

If in your old age, you still do not know the difference between sacked and suspended, then you need to go back to elementary school for proper elementary education.

sapele914:
Suspend him on Friday, National Assembly does the needful on Tuesday.

Okay o

If not, Tinubu goes to jail

sapele914:
Assumption.

In his ignorant, backward, and illiterate world, there is no difference between suspended and sacked, and to assume means stating FACT.

Your question is a valid one but the truth is that with Meffy, a lot of people really don't care.

Secondly, while the law may requires a 2/3 of Senate approval, I am not sure it says anything about suspension. So technical, he has not been sacked but only suspended for investigations to be carried out similar to how the form CJN was also suspended technically.

From here he will either be forced to resign or more likely the senate will overwhelmingly agree to remove him.

I do not think Meffy has any support base to fall on other than Malaimi who I also hope will join Meffy in whatever cell he is allocated to

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".

Ikoyi Prison will be Ok for him. Let him go and Relax there.
