I didn't suspend Sanusi because of the missing $20billion - Jonathan



President Goodluck Jonathan


“There were issues raised based on the 2012 audit report and for you to look into those issues, we felt that for you to be sure of what you are doing, the CBN governor  should  just step aside.

''you can go and interview the Auditor-General. Nobody is covering anybody up. Sanusi’s suspension has nothing to do with the alleged missing money. The first query sent to him was in April. The second was in May.

“The right thing must be done irrespective of whose ox is gored .”

Jonathan justified the seeming delay in suspending Sanusi since he claimed the issues culminating in his decision started in April 2013. He said  that matters relating to the nation’s treasury must be dealt with carefully.

The President said that he  needed to consult widely before taking a decision on the matter because as a sensitive issue, no President would wake up one day and take such a decision.
