Peterside Rues Sanusi’s Removal

“Could have grave  economic consequences”

Economy nigeria

Lamido Sanusi, former Emir of Kano

by the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi II, the founder of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, Atedo Peterside, has refused to honour an invitation to a Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) forum in protest of Sanusi’s ordeal.

Peterside, in a letter to the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, said he could not hide his displeasure at Sanusi’s deposition and eventual banishment from Kano.

Peterside was invited to be a panellist at a CBN consultative roundtable session taking place in Abuja.

While he thanked the CBN for the invitation, he said: “the correct thing for me to do is to respectfully decline to participate.”

“My refusal to join you has more to do with the monumental events that took place yesterday viz the removal of the emir of Kano from office and the release of information that purportedly seeks to exile him and restrict his movements or confine them to a little known enclave in Nassarawa state,” Peterside said in the open letter.

He said he attended the Commonwealth service that held in Westminster Abbey on Monday, where he was reminded of “what can go right when we embrace the forces of modernity whilst recognising and upholding our proud cultural heritage”.

“At the exact same time, I was distracted by disturbing news from Kano yesterday which confirmed what can go wrong, when those in authority pay lip service to the Nigerian constitution and then proceed to violate the fundamental freedoms that it guarantees each individual because they prefer to cling to practices like exile which they learnt from colonial masters and the military. These practices have no place in a democratic dispensation.”

Commenting on the roundtable, which is themed ‘Going for Growth’, Peterside said growth is a concept where investor confidence is boosted through actions like respecting individual freedom and the rule of law.

“Sadly, yesterday’s events have turned back the clock at a time when our economy is at a precipice and when we need to tell ourselves some home truths and speak truth to power in a constructive manner”

“By coincidence, the ex-emir of Kano is your predecessor in office at CBN. Ordinarily, he qualifies to be invited for tomorrow’s event. Did you invite him?

Recall that the Kano State government announced the dethronement of Sanusi who has since been replaced by Aminu Ado Bayero.
