Call for Sack of Lamido Sanusi: CPC Blasts Labour Leaders For Hypocrisy
The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has dismissed the call by the Nigeria Labour Congress for the sack of Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, as hypocritical, cheap and opportunistic.
Mallam Sanusi had recommended to the federal government the firing of 50 per cent of its workers in view of its overwhelming recurrent expenditure.
“Whilst we do not agree that the cause of the exorbitant recurrent expenditure is wholly due to the size of the public service work-force and that the sacking of half its size is the solution to the identified problem, we believe the call for the call for the sacking of the forthright Public officer for volunteering his personal opinion is equally preposterous,” CPC said today in a statement signed by Rotimi Fashakin, its National Publicity Secretary.
CPC that the fiscal indiscipline of this Jonathan-led administration has exacerbated Nigeria’s malaise, and that rather than vilifying the CBN governor for expressing a personal opinion, the important thing ought to be meaningful discourse on how to extricate Nigeria from the financial recklessness of the PDP-led Federal Government.
“As a Party, we have equally taken note of the ignominious manner this present crop of Labour leadership truncated, in January 2012, the people’s popular refusal to yield to the exploitative tendencies of the Nation’s rulers,” the statement said.
“In the course of scuttling the people’s revolt, some of these Labour leaders got appointed into some dodgy committees that were not primed to achieve result. This is why we view this call by the Labour leaders for Sanusi’s sack as a cheap, opportunistic (albeit languid) ploy to crawl back to the people’s reckoning.”
It warned that responsible leadership is about selflessness and consistency, and advised Nigeria’s labour leaders to critically examine the policies of governments nationwide which impinge on the well-being of the people “instead of looking for scape-goat for cheap populism.”
Owl eye‘s.
Who havn‘t perception on our country‘s economics, will see the absurds statement of CBN-Boss .
For those who are really needs our country to develops most to support the sunusi on his capacity call on F.G. Bcos he‘s en-route to mandacity.
How F.G‘s expenditure on public servants 75% and 25% on generals?
This is why nigerians are not see there gov‘ts on works. Consider it.
Buhari, dasuki, elrufai & ribadu fulanis wit no sense of history
Why should any sane Nigerian be shocked at the type of vomit Buhari is throwing at Nigerians in support of his Fulani brother Sanusi. That is why both of them share the same evil untouchable traits in Nigeria. Buhari it was who sacked over one million civil servants to celebrate his one year in office. So why must such a heartless man not back sanusi-he is talking about making Nigerians revolt against the president-this was a man who traced the history of boko haram to the 13 percent statutory allocation to the oil bearing communities in the south south-now urging government to fire every civil servant who is not from his fulani tribe-this was how NSA Dasuki, ordered the sack of all Niger deltans working with the MINT-when he was appioned the GM of that place
SR APPEARS TO BE IN SUPPORT OF SANUSI & NORTHERN ELEMENTS
It is apparent that SR is supporting the hidden agenda of Sanusi and their northern elements. SR did not carry the report of Sanusi outburst against poor civil servants who are not paid living wage, neither did it report his sack call by labour but his defence by CPC is now on its list.Farourk and his fellow thieves are frantically trying to kill the case of $620,000 bribe against him and how he topld a court that he has immunity against corruption, yet SR remained silence over these weighty corrupt manipulations. Sanusi has been described as one who speaks as the spirit leads without deep economic reflection. He just recruited mallams into the CBN and wants 50% of civil servants sacked.if he had qualified the categories like those who are above retirement age, the corrupt directors and their collaborators and all the dead woods most of which are the mallams, that would have made economic sense. But the political jobbers and their corruption is the real problem.
Is Sanusi not part of GEJ's govt?
He's one of the formators of fiscal policies. Let him show the way by resigning if he feels he's not listened to or allowed to make useful input. Enough of this holier-than-thou!
Call sack of lamido
Lamido is a greedy prince who is power drunk,he always wanted to impress GEj so that when the crown of Kano is down he is going to be instal.Never for him to be on that exalted seat
CPC should not loose sleep
CPC should not loose sleep over these morons who are merely FG agents mascurading as labor leaders. If they think Nigerians have forgotten so soon how they messed up the massive revolt, the first ever in this country that would have taught these lunatics in power a lesson, they are mistaken. Probably they think we still listen to them. If they want to test their popularity and acceptability amongst Nigerians, let them call for a national strike. Goatheads.
SACK ALL
Your number 5 point is the medication to cure Nigerian economy ailment. I appreciate your meaningful and full of thought contribution. People's interpretation to CBN Governor's statement telling FG to sack worker may look as if the man is not in the good book of Nigerians, but I think this will increase or spread tension all over the country:. 40% of workers in Naija are doing nothing to improve the economy.The system is so bad that nobody is not corrupt even pupils in primary school.
Re: Sanusi and Civil Service
So glad I have a kindred spirit that, like me, agrees with Sanusi. Audit the Civil Service and you will discover Sanusi is even being generous about the percentage. Go read Bill Clinton's recent book "Back to Work" - Why America needs Smarter Goverment for a better economy. If you can't lay your hands on it, try learn about Lagos State Agencies like LAWMA and LIRS. We just lack the capacity to appraise issues objectively and arrive at an informed decision with the Will to carry it through. Who's "zooming" who?
Even you CPC,
The CPC is simply chasing the wild Goose, as far as the issue of jumbo salary in both the upper and lower house is concerned . One thing CPC members at both houses made clear to the masses is that they like PDP members are allout for their personal pockets and not for the masses. Mr Rotimi Fashakin please do your home work before going to the press, becuase in as much as non of your members had ever made mention of the issue of jumbo pay, there and then, their silence means concept. Mallam Sanusi as a future CPC Presidential Aspirant, must realise that sacking or deminishing the number of existing workers at this material time will trigger off the unemployment spiral. It could be consequencial security wise. Be focused Mr Rotimi.
BEING USED
While the so called Fashakin is being used the CPC further exposes itself as a sectional party who will rather support a regionalist than being on the side of the masses. Is it not insensitive and calous for Sanusi to call for sacking of workers while the few elites, Sanusi inclusive draw outrageous salaries and allowances that need to be pruned down. Sanusi is elitist in policy and approach to issues thanks to his privileged background and born to rule indoctrination.
NLC don't be confused
What is the ratio ratio of the country's recurrent expenditure to that of capital ? Does it justify our composition viz a viz our population? I believe the 50% Mr. Sanusi was calling for their sack are ghost workers . The labour should reopen its head to get the message clear.
Labour has really not
Labour has really not extricated the work force and in extension the people from hardship. Its importance in this nation has been waned. Nobody will ever take them seriously again. It is in Nigeria that what the labour union understand is wage increase. The percentage of the work force is barely 5% of the population, any slight increase would bring almost 300% hardship to the entire populace as a result of incidental rise in prices of goods and services. We are warming up for the impending revolution.
CPC, exercise some reasonableness!
CPC, what is important here is the message and NOT the messenger. Was the Labour Union right in calling for Sanusi's removal? Yes, because his statement has some weight in the polity and Nigeria cannot afford more heating of the polity. Sanusi rightly identified a problem everybody knows about but prescribing the sacking of a sizeable proportion of the labour force in a country bedeviled by growing unemployment and its collateral security consequences was ill-advised, as the CPC agreed. So why attack the labour leaders? The CPC must understand that political differences must never override the need for multi-party approach to discussing important national problems.
How much is Sanusi's monthly
How much is Sanusi's monthly salary? Does anybody know? How much is the yearly budget of tne CBN? Does anybody know? What are the details of the secret account in the US into which NNPC pays Nigeria's oil money - and which is managed by Sanusi? Does anyone know? These are the things bleeding the Nigerian economy. And since Sanusi wants workers to be fired, let's start with him. That way we would free up all these monies for development. One more thing, if Sanusi had not foolishly strangulated development by keeping the noose on borrowing, the industries would have had access to capital for expansion, job creation and development. Sanusi simply wants more idle hands for his boko haram friends.
SANUSI DESERVES TO BE SACKED!
Please sack Lamido Sanusi for the following reasons:
1. Sanusi is a Malam and Malams are 2nd Class citizens in Nigeria
2. Sanusi exposed the National Assembly as collecting 25% of National Income
3. Sanusi exposed fellow Bankers (Ibru, Akingbola, Atuche etc) for looting Banks treasuries
4. Sanusi is the Doctor putting the Nigerian economy on life support after all the PDP Kleptocratic virus.
5. He is very ugly is suit; we do not want Agbada in office
He deserves to be sacked
CPC IS RIGHT
Cpc is right and Sanusi should not be castigated for nothing
This stupid Senate should be scrapped and some parastatals too
CPC misfire on this
Only an uninformed body wud side wit the demon calld sanusi. After wrecking our capital & money mkt, callin dem casinos, dey've been spending million holding lame talk shops to revive d same mkt. Only posterity wud reveal what sanusi has cost d nigerian economy alas he gets away wit it since d priest from otuoke can put up wit grave yard peace
Stop chasing shadow, you are
Stop chasing shadow, you are all leaving leprosy and pursuing ringworm.
All those taking issue with SLS on his advice to the government are majoring in minor. SLS role as Governor of CBN is to give sound monetary advice to the government and it is the elected government responsibility to accept or reject it.
SLS gave this advice and should be a proxy sign to Nigerians that the Nigerian economy is in deep trouble and not sustainable now and in the future at the current irresponsible spending and looting. He should be celebrated for his honesty of telling us that something has to give.
In summary, we should stop shooting the messenger, rather we should relax and ask ourselves the question why all these unpalatable medication for the sick Nigeria? There is no free lunch anywhere, it is what you sow that you will reap.
the word is strimline
what sanusi shld have suggested is the strimlining of the MDAs. there lot of MDAs whose responsibilities are more or less the same, they need to be merged and the excess hands releaved to avoid redundancy. also the amt of ministerial office shld be reduce by half and no need for ministers of states their role can be played by the per. sec. of the given ministry. also thesalary of thE NAT. ASS. MEMBERS cut by half.
CPC + Buhari (Sanusi)/ACF = X
CPC + Buhari(Sanusi)/ACF = x
What is x?
a) x is Fulani
b) x is Northern
c) x is A & B
CPC vs NLC
I believe to some portion,the CPC's observation on the NLC's call for the sack of Malam Lamido.Agreed,that the NLC had early in the year,betrayed Nigerians on the fuel subsidy protests.But,Lamido Sanusi is loquacious and assumes the status of officer with general portfolio.I wish to repeat myself that Malam Sanusi be shown the way out for trying to put the nation under storm.Call to trim the size of the workforce to 50% percent is a sheer madness as this was never done anywhere in the world.
Hmmm
While I support this call from Mallam Sanusi,my problem is his reason for the call but on the long run though,our recurrent expenditure will come down but I would have preferred if the call was based on the incompetence,clash of assignments and lack of productivity from these ill educated men and women of the various labor unions who are using forged documents and fake affidavits of age declaration to stifle any meaningful growth in our government parastatals.
Those to Sack
Lets sack all
1. Lets sack all the Local Government Tiers in Nigeria - What are they there for? no local roads or basic health services, (the royal kings will do a better job). All they do is share monthly allocation amongst their cronies.
2. Slash the pay and allowances for every member of the house or representative and senate in half. These two bodies are bleeding our coffers dry.
3. Lets go back to the period of 19 states, it doesnt make sense to have 30 states in Nigeria, its unnecessary waste of resources, Nigeria is only slightly bigger in land mass than the state of Texas in the US. We need a lean and mean government. Bigger government is just wastage.
4. Tie ministers with portfolio's pay to results. If you perform you get paid.
5. Corruption is a cancer, we need to fight it with every breadth.
