According to Sanusi, Jonathan invited him for a meeting after receiving complaints from members of the private sector over the country's monetary policy.
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has revealed that former Presidents Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan never pressured him to take any monetary policy decisions during his tenure as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Speaking in a recent public address, a video of which SaharaReporters saw on Friday, Sanusi said both former presidents respected the independence of the apex bank despite occasionally expressing concerns about economic policies.
"I worked under President Yar'Adua and President Jonathan. And to be honest, in my years as Central Bank Governor, none of them tried to be overbearing politically," Sanusi said.
"Yes, they would have issues; sometimes they would talk to me, and I would explain, but never did they try to compel me on monetary policy."
