In the letter, sent to the President on March 10, Sanusi said " “On Wednesday March 10, 2014, I submitted a memorandum to His Excellency, Mr. President, with supporting documentation, effectively addressing all the allegations contained in the FRCN Briefing Note, the letter of suspension and the Akingbola petition.
“Having submitted my response to the
President, I am further compelled, following the recent press briefing
and comments by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media as
well as numerous other references to the allegations in both local,
international and online media, to put to the public my responses in the
interest of transparency, accountability and my responsibility to the
Nigerian people.
“Let me also state that I saw the FRCN
Briefing Note for the first time when it was attached to the suspension
letter. At no time was this report sent to the CBN either by the
President or the FRCN for comments or explanations.
“A careful examination of the
allegations contained in the FRCN Briefing Note to Mr President, will
show that each of the allegations could easily have been resolved by a
simple request for clarification or more careful review.
“There is no doubt that if the CBN had
received the Briefing Note, which was prepared in June 2013, all the
misconceptions, misrepresentations and erroneous inferences contained
therein would have been cleared.
“I am publishing these responses to
enable the general public see that each and every allegation levelled
against the CBN under my leadership is false and unfounded, and that
many of the allegations were malicious and fabricated, having been
designed to mislead the President into believing that the management of
the central bank was guilty of misconduct and recklessness.
Transparency and accountability indeed!
