Even though Jonathan sees him as a strong ally in fight against corruption and setting firm agenda for strong fiscal and monetary policies, some close to the President are not comfortable with some of Sanusi’s subterranean activities.
The conviction of some members of Jonathan’s kitchen cabinet is that while Sanusi hobnobs with Jonathan he had and is still, surreptitiously working for the Congress For Progressive Change, CPC, Presidential candidate, General Muhamadu Buhari whom he feeds with insider story of the Government.
“He is a mole. He takes information to Buhari and El-Rufai and portrays the Government in bad light and yet he is still serving under the same Government and brags nobody can sack him.”
A source that was in Kano for his turbaning ceremony said “he was at a meeting with some of his close allies shortly after the ceremony and expressed his dislike for the administration. He started talking after one of his friends asked him his view about the Jonathan’s administration.
According to the source who does not want to be named “he clearly said the administration was finished and that he would back Buhari again if he decides to run. Sanusi said he was just ‘marking time’ with Jonathan. He has been telling people that Jonathan is weak and Buhari is better, he has been bragging that Jonathan cannot remove him unilaterally.”
Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that Sanusi, who championed the need for Islamic banking, had tried at some fora to justify the mayhem by Boko Haram, minimizing the sect’s underline objective, which is Islamization of some sections of Nigeria.
His utterances on the activities on Boko Haram appear to be in tandem with some high profile northern elders like Adamu Ciroma, Shetima Ali-Munguno, and Lawal Keita.
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had maintained that the interest free Islamic banking would help tackle the problems of tobacco smoking, alcoholism, gambling and prostitution and others in Nigeria.
Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in an interview with the Financial Times blamed the emergence of the Boko Haram terrorist sect on the 13% derivation allocated to the oil producing states from the federation account. He had told FT “There is clearly a direct link between the very uneven nature of distribution of resources and the rising level of violence.”
In 2010 Sanusi said “If Buhari gets a nomination he will have my vote. I will vote for him not, like some have averred, because he is a northerner and a Muslim or because I think his candidacy is good for the north and Islam; I will vote for him not because I think he will make a good democrat or that he was not a dictator. I will vote for Buhari as a Nigerian for a leader who restored my pride and dignity and my belief in the motherland. I will vote for the man who made it undesirable for the “Andrews” to “check out” instead of staying to change Nigeria.”
Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that Sanusi maintained this position recently during a private meeting with some close friends shortly after his turbaning in Kano.
According to our source, Sanusi donated about N50 million to the Buhari campaign organization before the last presidential election.
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua nominated Sanusi as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria on 1 June 2009 and the Senate confirmed his appointment on
3 June 2009, in the middle of a global financial crisis.
In parallel to his banking career, Sanusi contributed to the debate over Sharia law. In 1997, Sanusi obtained a degree in Sharia and Islamic Studies from the African International University in Khartoum, Sudan
Sanusi was born on July 31, 1961. His father was a Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the 1960s and his grandfather was Emir of Kano and Islamic Scholar, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi. Sanusi graduated from King’s College Lagos in 1977 and studied at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria earning a BSc in Economics in 1981. He then taught economics at ABU from 1983 to 1985.
