However, the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu has denied the news that the president had ordered the investigation of the tenures of Emir Sanusi Mohammed and prof. Charles Soludo respectively as CBN governors.

Mr Shehu made the denial through his official Facebook page on August 29, Monday.

He wrote: “The checks I made today indicated that the Presidency is unaware of the reported probe of Sarkin Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II and Prof.Chukwuma Soludo.

“Where did that report come from? Under our constitution which President Muhammadu Buhari swore to uphold, it is not a crime to offer suggestions.”

Sanusi had last week called on the federal government to emulate the economic policies implemented by the Lagos state Governor, Akinwumi Ambode.

The Emir also warned the incumbent president to retrace his steps or risk failing like the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.

However, President Buhari was said to have held a closed door meeting with the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele on August 25, Thursday.

The meeting is considered to be a fallout of Sanusi’s criticism of some of Buhari’s policies.
