Sanusi Drops Case against Jonathan, May Visit Villa Soon

In a move aimed at mending fences with President Goodluck Jonathan, the Emir of Kano and former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Muhammadu Sanusi II, has discontinued the case he filed against the federal government challenging his suspension from office.

As part of the fence mending measures, Sanusi, We gathered, may also pay a courtesy call to the president soon, following the overtures he had made to him personally and through intermediaries since his appointment as the emir, seeking Jonathan’s forgiveness for his public utterances.

Since Sanusi’s letter to the president on the non-remittance of $49.8 billion by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to the Federation Account was leaked, there has been no love lost between both men.

In the Notice of Discontinuance dated July 1, 2014, and filed same day, his lawyers said the former CBN governor was no longer interested in continuing with the case.

    The summersault of the formal Apex Governor goes a long way to teach Nigerians that the should think before they talk and not the other way. I spent weeks in my quietness asking God to reveal who President Goodluck Jonathan is and double confirmation came that he is God sent. Anybody who takes side with Nigerian oppositions will surely visit the Prsident for congratulation as the formal Apex Bank Governor will do soon. Those that are killing and kidnapping to bring Mr president will be put to shame very very very son. Watch how the current Bornu governor will go down in shame will prove my assertion right or wrong.
