President and founder of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr. Fredrick Fasheun, has said that the suspended Governor of (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi deserved his suspension by President Goodluck Jonathan. Fasehun also described him as an arrogant person and said he built a wall around himself and had no respect for anyone while in power. Below is what he told Daily Sun
“Sanusi has no respect for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and carried on as if he is a law unto himself. The fact that he is a prince does not confer a special statue on him; he is not above the president. Even monarchs are still under the head of state.”
On Sanusi’s challenge of his removal in court, Fasheun said:
“President Goodluck Jonathan is an executive president; he can hire and fire. Sanusi deserved what he got, he deserved his sack by the president. How can you be so arrogant to an executive president of a country like Nigeria?”
He also faulted Sanusi’s claim that his removal from office was not in order:
“He (Sanusi) claimed that President Jonathan does not have the right to remove him; from which book did he read that? He who hires has the right to fire.
“The President has the right to suspend or remove him. If he (Sanusi) has the power to fight back, he can as well suspend the President.”
Fasheun described as mind-blowing, the report of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), which indicted Sanusi and urged the government to thoroughly investigate him and if found culpable, prosecute and jail him to serve as deterrent to others
