EMIR SANUSI'S REVELATION ON GEJ NNPC LOOTED FUND
This is an explosive story!! Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi recalled
what happened between him and the then President Goodluck Jonathan after he
exposed Diezani and the looted Billions at NNPC:
The president, called me and said I should see him at 3pm. I turned up
at 3pm and the entire place had been swept. There was no one apart from
security services. Eerie silence. I got to his office, it was just me
and him. It was as if everybody had been asked to go. And so he says to
me, he’s calling me because he is surprised that the letter I wrote to him
got to Obasanjo. I said I’m surprised too. He said he’s calling me
because he thinks I know who gave Obasanjo the letter and I said no I
don’t. He said the letter must have been leaked from the Central Bank
and I said no, the letter was in different places. It was in the villa,
it was in petroleum, it was in finance, it was in CBN. Either way,
Obasanjo has been president so he lived in this villa for 8 years and he
is more likely to have sources in this villa than inside the Central
bank.
“He said he is convinced that the letter went from the central bank
to Obasanjo, and I had 24 hours to find who leaked the letter or sack
somebody; the director who prepared the letter or my secretary and if I
did not sack them, that was proof that I leaked the letter and
therefore, I should resign. I said to him that I’m surprised that I’m
being asked to resign for raising an alarm over missing funds and the
minister in charge of the portfolio is not being asked to resign.
“From then I knew I had signed my equivalent for death warrant…
But I said I was not resigning. I said I had no intention of resigning. He
[Jonathan] got very angry once I mentioned the minister [Allison
Diezani] and said whether you like it or not, you’re going to leave that
office, I cannot continue to work with you, either you or I will leave
government.”
Sanusi said he knew that for daring Diezani who was the most powerful
minister in Jonathan’s government he would be in big trouble but he was
ready to die for Nigeria than keep quiet.
“I knew that taking on NNPC was taking on the most powerful minister
in Jonathan’s government, and nobody who had touched Diezani had
survived. It was not a question of what would happen, I just didn’t care
at that time. I did not want to go down in history as having seen this
and kept quiet”.
