Presidency dismisses reported probe of Emir of Kano, Soludo
The Presidency
on Monday refuted social media reports that the tenures of Emir of Kano, Dr
Muhammadu Sanusi and Prof. Charles Soludo, as Central Bank Governors, would
soon be probed by the Federal Government.
Reports on
social media on Sunday and Monday 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”.
Malam Garba
Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President
Muhammadu Buhari, however, in a tweeted message, 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.
