Prince Buruji Kashamu, Chairman of Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the People’s Democratic Party in South-West geopolitical zone, has called on the anti graft agencies to go after the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Kashamu in an open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan entitled: “Why Sanusi must be probed” accused Sanusi of blackmailing many bank chiefs into silence while he parades himself as the governor of the apex bank.
According to the elder statesman, “I am worried by the attempt by the opposition to make it look as if they own Sanusi more than the government that appointed him, and thereby politicising the whole issue.
“From the comments of the opposition and some of its leading lights, especially those he favoured with questionable waiver and contracts, it is obvious that while he was appointed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP led Federal Government, Sanusi was therefore acting their script.
“Now that he has been told to step aside for proper investigation into the allegations against him, all hell is let loose as if some people want him to sit in judgment over his own case. Is it not said that he who comes to equity must come with clean hands?
“It is clear that many who had been cowed or blackmailed into silence will find the suspension of the CBN governor re-assuring of their belief that the Nigeria judicial system will deliver justice. However, there are still issues which the courts alone can resolve.
“In summary, the CBN Governor, based on secret reports, declared “selected banks in grave situation,” removed the management and some non executive directors of those banks, infused billions of public funds into those banks and proceeded to nationalise some of them and sold the others to mainly inscrutable consortia.

“The Farida Waziri led Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was conscripted with a mandate to arraign some of the officers of the banks before the criminal courts on various allegations of misconduct and harass some of the customers of the banks into making.”

Missing construction worker worries Oworonshoki residents.

Image
Although nine persons are said to have been rescued from a building that collapsed on Sand Beach Lane, in the Oworonshoki area of Lagos, residents still suspect that a corpse may be lying in the rubble. Last Thursday, around 11am, the two-storey building collapsed while construction work was going on, leaving about 10 people trapped – including three children – in the rubble for awhile. After efforts by government agencies such as the Lagos State Emergency Management Authority and the National Emergency Management Authority, the victims, who were seriously injured, were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for medical attention. On Sunday afternoon, when our correspondent visited the area, some people staying around the sand beach said there were strong indications that there was a dead body still lying under the rubble. One of them, Mr. Kazeem Hassan, said, “We were the ones who first rushed to the building to bring out the workers. We initially rescued e...

2015: Jonathan To Decide Whether To Run Soon

Image
Following the release of the 2015 election timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, President Goodluck Jonathan will soon hold a strategic meeting with his kitchen cabinet to decide on whether or not to run, his Special Adviser on Inter-Party Affairs, Senator Ben Obi, has said. However, the decision may not be taken until April because the Presidency may want to spend the next 90 days on effective governance to better the lot of the citizenry in line with the President’s promise of a better 2014 for Nigerians. In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Obi, who also described as uncalled for the directive of the Interim National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to its federal lawmakers to shut down governance, said it was worrisome that leading politicians and elders were making reckless and inflammatory statements that could hurt the country. Asked if Jonathan will declare his ambition now following the INEC’s timetable, he ...
