“Since assumption of office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, all Sanusi’s major pronouncements have been either directly anti people or ruinous to the Nigerian economy.
“Today, there are countless probe reports with names of those who swindled our country of several trillions of naira and other foreign currencies still living in Nigeria either walking freely around the corridors of power or directly holding public or political offices rather than being in jail.
“We see in Sanusi an agent of death that must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys the Nigerian economy. While President Jonathan is promising to create more jobs, Lamido Sanusi is calling for mass sack of civil servants in a country with one of the highest number of unemployed, which has indeed led to gross deprivation and the current state of insecurity in Nigeria. While we believe the Federal Government will ignore the ranting of this hollow economist, Sanusi has never demonstrated patriotism in all his advice on economic and financial management in Nigeria.
“Sanusi’s only understanding of governance is simply about saving money and not saving lives as his proposals are repeatedly devoid of human content and without consideration for the implications on larger society. The burden that will come with mass sack as high as 50 per cent of civil servants in addition to the already saturated unemployment market can better be imagined.
Governance is about improving the quality of lives of the people and not destruction of productive lives.”
- This is the position of the chairman of NLC, Abdulwahid Omar, while stressing that, “Sanusi was never qualified for the office of CBN governor in the first instance, and he must be asked to leave the office as he has shown more than enough incompetence and contempt for the Nigerian people.”
Recall that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had, on Tuesday, advised the Federal Government to sack half of its work force, claiming that Nigeria could not build its economy when 70 per cent of its earnings went to salaries and entitlements of civil servants.
The question for Sanusi is, how much does the government spend on political appointees and public office holders like himself?
