Recall that President Bola Tinubu had appointed Jim Obazee as a Special Investigator to probe the activities of the CBN and other related entities.
President Bola Tinubu has been warned by former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani that it is not possible for a special investigator to probe the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Tinubu had appointed Jim Obazee as a Special Investigator to probe the activities of the CBN and other related entities.
In a letter dated 28 July, Tinubu said the appointment of Obazee, relying on the fundamental objective set forth in Section 15(5) of the Nigerian constitution, was in furtherance of his administration’s anti-corruption fight.
Obazee is to report directly to the president.
Reacting via Twitter, Sani wrote, “One person appointed by the President cannot objectively,fairly,deeply and transparently investigate the CBN.
“A Presidential committee made up of independent financial experts,seasoned accountants and auditors supposed to be given the job, if the objective is recovery and reform and not cover up and protecting big names in the past administration.
“One person can be subjected to influence,threats,manipulation and compromise from the side of the Government or those involved or implicated.”
