EARSHOT $20bn: The President Should At Least Pretend To Be Outraged Those who watched President Jonathan’s “Media Chat” last week wanted to hear something about the missing $20 billion; instead, the president regaled us with his “absolute power” to suspend the CBN governor. Somebody has actually informed me that the president will soon be suspending the chairman of LEADERSHIP from his duties as chairman for talking too much about the stolen $20 billion! During the “Media Chat”, the president went on and on talking about the CBN audited accounts as the basis on which he suspended the CBN governor. The president, who was so decisive to show his powers over the CBN’s audited accounts, did not as much as notice that the NNPC – which Asiwaju Bola Tinubu calls the Jonathan government’s ATM – has not been audited in the last eight years. But, as I have always said, this president is a wonderful man. People close to him should please advise him to at least pretend to be angry at those who stole or “lost” the $20billion and not at those reporting the theft. And the president should not think that Nigerians are fools. You can say what you like about the “financial recklessness” of Sanusi, but we must know where the $20 billion has gone. At least we now know why President Jonathan has not been paying the police their appropriated funds and why the president has been unable to pay state governments their federal allocations in full every month. The president also needs to know that all these are “suspendable” offences.
