Suspension is removal because it removes him from his job and even toddler can understand that.

Emefiele is first focusing on getting released from detention before he can start the case about his removal I presume.

Like I already said Sanusi decided to drop his case against his removal, but he was never in custody and the Emirship was likely compensation negotiated behind closed doors.
ObaIgwe1:


Well both in English language and in the eye of the law Suspension is not same as removal or sack. I have worked for organisations and I am also an employer of labor, i should know.

You might need to Google on why SLS was suspended. It was based on nothing concrete. The only explanation from Jonathan was that the Government no longer has confident in Sanusi base on Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, FRCN's annual report for that year. There were lot of debates by lawyers then unlike now, lawyers are no longer debating the legality of the suspension.

As for Emefiele, he has a running issue with DSS even before Tinubu came to power. It was Buhari that shielded him then. Whether DSS allegations are genuine or not, only the law court can decide and the matter is already in court.

Also, only the court can decide if the President has abused his power to suspend the CBN Govt. But as at of today, even Emefiele is not challenging his suspension and no Lawyer has gone to court to challenge the legality of the suspension... You can take up the honor of hiring a lawyer to challenge the suspension in court, because until a court rules otherwise, the suspension will be seen as normal.

Emefiele himself was a beneficiary of SLS's suspension. If the suspension of SLS by Jonathan was illegal, then Emefiele was also a partaker of illegality.

I am not so much concerned about Emefiele the person but the disrespect or the independence of the office of the CBN governor that just happens to be be occupied my Emefiele.

Although as a human he deserve fair treatment and human rights guaranteed everybody.
Did he give the masses fair treatment when he enacted the cash swap? Do you know the damage it did to people's lives? And death?

It is not about Emefiele it is about the having independent functional institutions.

We cannot condone corruption if we want a functioning government and nation.
Right... but Emefiele deserves unconditional punishment. If he's released just wait and see how Nigerians will drag both the DSS, Judiciary and Tinubu up and down as co corrupt partners with Emefiele. Forget all the people trying to make sense of the constitution, a lot of Nigerians are happy with Emefiele's situation.

Take a look at Kanu, the entire SE are not happy, even their elders have asked both Buhari and Tinubu to release him.

But that of Emefiele, you'll even be risking your life if you come in the public to support him. He's the major reason our inflation index is at where it is today due to his policies. Many businesses shutdown because of Emefiele's wicked policies.

Please, allow him to stay where he is. Even if he's released, without heavy security presence around him his life is at risk. If he stays there for a long time, by the time he's released, most Nigerians have forgotten about him and he can even walk past you on the street. But now that his atrocities are still fresh on our minds, taaaah! Don't try it o. Let him even be happy he's locked and heavily guarded where he is now.

Emefailure also had no right to deny people access to their money through the stupid naira recoloration and artificial scarcity. For those saying Bubu supported him with the cash ish, know ye that Bubu only approved what Emefailure presented to him. 8f Emefailure didn't think of that evil way of using cash to fight us, Bubu would probably not have been able to think of that as one of our punishments
Re: Godwin Emefiele's removal as Central Bank Nigeria governor & arrest is illegal ? by worksmart(m): 7:40am On Aug 18, 2023
CBN is mandated to periodically redesign Naira notes.
Corrupt politicians hoarding cash and probably doing other things to sabotage the exercise, were responsible for the hardship

So, his job was to make many lose their businesses and cause death? If you are one of his PR agents pls tell him; May he rot in jail !

His job is to periodically re-design Naira notes, hardship is not all his fault but also due sabotage of corrupt politicians.

Was that a redesign or confiscation of people's monies. Was he the first CBN gov to redesign? You asked people to submit their old notes without making the new notes available. He is simply a thief !
Re: Godwin Emefiele's removal as Central Bank Nigeria governor & arrest is illegal ? by worksmart(m): 2:23pm On Aug 18, 2023
Who knows the reason there was not enough new notes available maybe there was sabotage somewhere by the opposing politicians certainly corrupt politicians an money criminals were hoarding huge amounts which I supposed needed to be accounted for first before printing more.
We did see truck loads of rotten cash being hoarded in corrupt peoples homes.

So, let him explain to the masses what happened? After all he has mouth and he can afford to hire 100 SANs out of the money stolen. And pay several PR agents. He will have an opportunity to clear his name in court. A clear conscience fears no arrest.

Ask Jonathan why did he sack sanusi lamido. The finest CBN governor of the 4th republic.

It is for the prosecutor to explain why they locking him up and he can only respond to charges leveled against him. That is how courts work. In the meantin he can bring his human rights claim against the DSS and FG, to be at least released on bail. Which he has done but the judges seem to have been bribed by Tinubu and are allow his illegal continued detention.

When did president TINUBU removed emefiele?
worksmart:
Why did Tinubu suspend Emefiele as CBN governor and was it constitutional ?

How I see it is that constitution says that the president cannot remove a CBN governor without a court order. and approval of the Senate.
In a working democracy Emefiele should have been freed and back at work and Tinubu facing impeachment.

Legal experts in the house let me hear your take.
Re: Godwin Emefiele's removal as Central Bank Nigeria governor & arrest is illegal ? by worksmart(m): 5:33pm On Aug 19, 2023
Suspending him is removing him from his job. Not to talk of his illegal detention.

Suspension is removal anybody with the ability to reason can understand this. If as he is doing the virus (Tinubu) prevents him from ever returning to his post, is that not removal in reality?

Ability to assume is your personal opinion not constitutional opinion. you have rights to assume he was removed. So keep assuming

First virus already shown his willingness to breach court orders; Recall there is a subsisting court order restraining the DSS from arresting Emefiele , so why would he also not disrespect the constitution provisions by removing Emefiele without involving the judiciary and the senate?
