Movie producer, Charles Novia, who also known for his scathing criticism, has once again taken a swipe at the Federal Government for not suspending Sanusi Lamido a long ago.
The former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido was suspended by Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday for his involvement in “various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct, which are inconsistent with the administration’s vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline.”
Reacting to the suspension, Charles Novia said:
“If I was the President, I would have sacked Lamido months ago. His cup had runneth over with wines of insubordination, contempt for the Commander-in-Chief and gross financial recklessness amounting to over N60 billion naira unchecked donations based on a nebulous “independence of the Central Bank of Nigeria.”
“I am aware that the CBN Act gives full independence to the Central Bank but the act did not state that the CBN Governor should be an authority of Governance unto himself. He had succeeded in creating an opposition Government within the ambits of his independence. There was no hiding the disdain in which he held the President, a barely concealed contempt for the man “wey dey give you chop.”
Speaking further, the movie producer said, “Lamido has a Superiority Complex. Such people would confuse their bluntness for being rebels against a system. A loquacious gift is not a yardstick for political intelligence. Lamido crossed the line between keeping to his brief as CBN Governor and openly canvassing to be the next Emir of Kano or currying favours by donating billions to some institutions in those areas which would aid his royal ambitions.
“For the record, I am as peeved as many Nigerians about the shortcomings of the Jonathan Administration in many areas. I also join millions of people in asking for full accountability of the NNPC ‘missing $20 billion’. But I also know a lot about hierarchical politics and administration.
“The Guy who employs you is your Boss! You disagree with him in private. You don’t come out all prima donna to undermine his authority because you have an opposition Press on your side and a tribal mindset of supporters egging you on. Damn it! I would show you who the boss is, if it was me.
“And you know why Jonathan’s payback is a bitch to Sanusi? Lamido will spend the next few months trying to clear his name over the ‘financial recklessness’ he has been accused of. His credentials have been officially stained. Yes, he would scream that Jonathan is corrupt too but Nigerians have heard that before. Nothing new. What is novel would be the documents which will fly out soon from the Government exposing Sanusi’s hidden deals. That is how politics works.
“And let us be clear about this; there is nothing like clean politics. When you are up there, you always fight for your survival. Even those of you working in offices and corporations know how it works,” he concluded.
Afterall, you are not a president. MumU
Alfa u are the bigger mumu. Senseless bunch of abokis that only think with their anuses.
Abeg concentrate on what u know and leave CBN matter alone. U just read newspaper story without knowing the truth and u have passed judgement. thought you are justifying the billions of our money Jonathan gave u guys in nollywood to buy your support
@Sparrow; Read charles comments again b4 u write ur trash. He never said GEJ is a saint, but that Sanusi deserved what he got. Its long overdue. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
That’s why you can’t be president. Always want to put your mouth everywhere,and not having a full grasp of happenings. All the other cases of corrupt practices that came to bear under Jonathans Administation,what did he do about them? As long as they are serving his interest.Nigeria can never grow with such privacy you expect him to deal with the president. The president does not see anything wrong with corruption and people working for him capitalise on it and they will always fight anybody standing in their way, and that’s what is playing out .NNPC account unaudited since 2005 and that’s the centre point of Nigeria existence. He will defend himself and very well.
@Olatunji. NNPC account is unaudited since 2005 right? Is GEJ the president since then 2005? Why didnt the leaders b4 him do that? OBJ messed every sector of this nation up and what GEJ has been doing is just trying to put things back in order, but the damage is too much and needs time. Why are u all in so much hurry??? The corruption this nation saw during the 8 years rule of ur brother OBJ has never been withnessed by any govt in the history of this nation. Sanusi got what he deserved. He is a mega thief. Moron.
Your right he is gone never to come back a big dent on his profil
I totally agree with u. U can’t be against d govt u work for.nice one
