Governor and
factional
Chairman of
the Nigeria
Governors
Forum, Chief
Jonah Jang,
Sunday
criticised the
Central Bank
of Nigeria
(CBN)
Governor,
Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, over his face-off with
President Goodluck Jonathan, urging him to
moderate his utterances as he was not bigger than
Nigeria.
Jang's criticism was contained in a statement in
Abuja, by the NGF media office, signed by Kassim
Yakubu.
Jang said as
an
appointee of
the
president, if
there was
any lack of
trust
between
him and
Jonathan, the only honourable thing for him to do
was quit so that the president could appoint
someone he would be comfortable to work with.
"If the relationship between the CBN governor and
President Jonathan has become frosty, it is only
logical that the president becomes uncomfortable
knowing how sensitive the CBN is to his
transformation agenda. Moreover, we elected the
president to run the country and so we cannot be
held hostage by an appointee of government if it is
true that Mr. President has asked for the
resignation of the CBN governor," he added.
He warned that Jonathan should be allowed to run
his government without unnecessary distractions,
as he was voted as president by the people who
trust him to pilot the nation's affairs.
