Atedo peterside says sanusis removal has sent nigeria backward opts out of confab on economy

It appears that Atedo Peterside, a Nigerian businessman and former presidential candidate, has made some comments about the removal of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the country's economic situation.

According to reports, Peterside has stated that the removal of Sanusi has sent Nigeria backward and has opted out of the National Conference on the Economy. He believes that Sanusi's removal was a mistake and that it has had negative consequences for the country's economy.

Sanusi was removed as CBN Governor in February 2014 by President Goodluck Jonathan, citing his alleged insubordination and refusal to follow the government's instructions. Sanusi had been a vocal critic of the government's economic policies and had clashed with the administration on several occasions.

Peterside's comments are likely a reflection of his disagreement with the government's decision to remove Sanusi and his concerns about the impact it has had on the country's economy. As a businessman and former presidential candidate, Peterside has a strong interest in the country's economic development and may be concerned about the potential consequences of Sanusi's removal.

It's worth noting that the National Conference on the Economy was a major economic summit held in Nigeria in 2014, which aimed to discuss and address the country's economic challenges. The conference was attended by various stakeholders, including government officials, business leaders, and experts.
