Fielding questions from a panel of journalists during the presidential media chat in Abuja, Jonathan said Sanusi would only cease to be governor of the bank if found guilty of infractions levelled against him.
But he was quick to describe as “unfortunate,” the controversy surrounding his suspension of the Kano State-born banker.
He reminded critics of his action that he had absolute powers to do so without recourse to the Senate.
The President said he could only revert to the Senate if he intended to sack the governor completely.
He added that Sanusi’s suspension was not in any way connected with the alleged $20bn missing funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
