Over the alleged Nigeria National Petroleum Commission’s missing $10.8 billion, the Kano state governor, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has warned the Presidency to desist from harassing the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Kwankwaso who spoke in an interactive session with newsmen at Government House Kano Saturday, said that Kano state will continue to support Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as well as provide him with adequate protection, where necessary.

He said, “The villa should understand that the CBN governor is not only the son of Kano but also an important pillar and a major contributor to the survival of Nigeria’s economy”.

The governor said the CBN governor stands firm by the truth, while performing his official duties, which led to numerous achievements in the nation’s banking sector, hence the need for the Presidency to stop embarrassing the illustrious son.

The Governor was issuing the warning to the presidency when the CBN Governor was in the state to inaugurate the National Tomato Technical Working Committee.

He said, ‘’Let me seize this opportunity to warn those in Abuja, especially those in the Villa that they should desist from harassing and embarrassing our citizens, particularly referring to our son, the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.’’

‘’ I hope they should realize that the CBN governor is not an ordinary citizen and I hope that they should also take note of that. And also let me say that we are very proud of him. He is somebody, who is upright, somebody, who is willing to say it as it is, anywhere and at any time and not minding whose ox is gored.’’

‘’Let me tell them that we have seen nothing wrong, anybody, who advises leaders, whether the President should check these figures, so as to confirm whether these figures are correct. Such people that make such statements should not be treated as an enemy but should rather be embraced as friends.”

“Let me also seize this opportunity to tell the CBN governor that we are very proud of him and will continue to give him all the support and protection, where necessary.’’
