SaharaReporters has learnt that Nigeria's Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, will have to leave his post in March, 2014, 8 weeks ahead of the formal expiration of his tenure. Two sources at the Presidency and a source at the Central Bank told SaharaReporters that Mr. Sanusi has been ordered to proceed on a post-retirement leave in March. All three sources figured early exit for the CBN henchman was occasioned by Mr. Sanusi's recent leaked letter to President Goodluck Jonathan detailing the theft of near $50 billion in oil proceeds by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). A week ago, Mr. Sanusi revised the figure of missing funds down seriously to $12 billion, nevertheless the injury to the Jonathan Presidency is recognized as massive. SaharaReporters learnt that Mr. Jonathan has concluded plans to speedily replace the CBN governor whom the president believes attempted to embarrass his government.
