Charles Novia: “If I was the President, I would have sacked Lamido months ago”
If I was the President, I would have
sacked Lamido months ago. His cup had runneth over with wines of
insurbordination, 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”.
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
heirachical politics and administration. The Guy who employs you is your
f***king 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.
