President Buhari is not Aware of any Probe of Emir Sanusi and Professor Soludo – Presidency


The Presidency on Tuesday refuted social media reports that the tenures of Emir of
Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II and Professor Charles Soludo , as Central Bank Governors,
would soon be probed by the Federal Government.
He was reacting to the social media reports, published
on Sunday and Monday, that alleged that the Federal
Government had concluded arrangements to probe the
tenures of the two former CBN governors over their
views on the state of the nation’s economy.
The reports further alleged that Sanusi and Soludo had
been put on “the watch list of the government for some
alleged anomalies that occurred during their tenures as
head of the Nigeria’s apex bank’’.
Recall that Soludo the Emir, last week condemned some
of the economic policies of the federal government and
shared suggestions on how to move the country
forward.
Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, however, in a
statement on Twitter, said the presidency was not aware
that the Emir and Soludo would be probed for offering
suggestions to the president.
“The check I made today indicated that the presidency is
unaware of the reported probe of Sarkin Kano,
Muhammadu Sanusi II and Prof. Soludo
Where did that report come from? Under our constitution
which President Muhammadu Buhari swore to uphold, it
is not a crime to offer suggestions,’’ he said.
