His statement reads in part:
"I worked under former Presidents Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, and to be honest, during my years as Central Bank Governor, neither of them was overbearing politically."
Nigerians react as Sanusi speaks on Yar'Adua, Jonathan
Recall that Sanusi was first nominated as the governor of the CBN by the late Yar'Adua. After Yar'Adua's death, he was retained by Jonathan, who succeeded the late former president. His latest revelation about tow two former presidents has started generating reactions from Nigerians.
Below are some of their comments:
Seauton recalled how Sanusi complained about the administration of Jonathan at the international scenes:
"You complained bitterly about GEJ. Your submission on international and national media that they Government, which you were part of, couldn’t account for several billions of dollars, was an inflexion point for the opposition that culminated in the demise of that administration."
Godwin Robinson alleged that Sanusi fabricated stories against Jonathan:
"But it was said that you fabricated stories against GEJ to remove him from Aso Rock and make room for PMB, who eventually damaged the economy. I wonder when you'll accept responsibility for your entire playbook. President Tinubu must have learned from your past not to give you that space."

Eaze alleged that it was the same strategy that brought APC to power:
"Sanusi don turn preacher now. But wait, wasn't this the same man wey shout $20B missing under Jonathan till e get suspended? Na, politics or selective memory? Make we no forget the drama wey help APC win."
Chukwuka said the former governor of the CBN cannot be trusted:
"I don't believe anything he said because we remember what roles he played in 2014; he was one of those who accused PGJ of all the wrongs in this world."
Lekan Lawal expressed anger over the Emir:
"Anytime I see this man talking about the good things the GEJ government did, I feel like cursing him. He was used by the opposition to bring down a government that was working for Nigerians. Have Nigerians forgotten that GEJ sacked this man because he could no longer tolerate Sanusi’s utterances back then? Tinubu will win the 2027 election and further damage Nigeria."
