Recent reports on social media that the tenures of Lamido Sanusi and Charles Chukwuma Soludo, as Central Bank Governors, would soon be probed by the Federal Government because both had aired their views on the state of the nation's economy, have been refuted by the Presidency.
The two former CBN Governors recently warned the Buhari administration about its handling of the economy.
According to reports published on social media on Sunday and Monday, Sanusi and Soludo had been put on "the watch list of the Government for some alleged anomalies that occurred during their tenures as head of the Nigeria's apex bank."
However, according to a tweet from the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, the Presidency was not aware that Sanusi and Soludo would be probed for offering suggestions to the President.
Shehu said: "The check I made today indicated that the Presidency is unaware of the reported probe of Sarkin Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi 11 and Prof. Soludo.
"Where did that report come from? Under our constitution which President Muhammadu Buhari swore to uphold, it is not a crime to offer suggestions."
