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

“The President has the right to suspend or remove him. If he

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.
