Northern Christians fault Sanusi on N25m donation


Sanusi Lamido
The CBN Governor



The Northern Christian Elders Forum (NORCEF) yesterday lashed out at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi over what it termed a face-saving and belated donation to victims of the Christmas Day bombing at Madalla, Niger State. 
In a statement, entitled: “Sanusi’s face-saving measures”, signed by its Chairman, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye,  NORCEF accused the CBN governor of bias. 
They wondered why he waited until the attack on his state, Kano, and donated to the victims before remembering the Madalla bombings. 
The statement noted that there have been deadly attacks in other parts of the country, such as Yobe, Bauchi, Plateau, Niger, Kaduna and Adamawa by the dreaded Boko Haram sect, saying, “why didn’t the CBN governor make any donation to the victims?”
