The Act establishing the CBN provides for how it’s Governor can be removed and the process would involve the National Assembly .

So any report claiming Buhari has unilaterally sacked Godwin Emefiele is fake news and should be ignored.

You can't say he has no power to sack him. Buhari is NASS and NASS is Buhari, therefore sacking Emiefele needs just few hours NASS sitting then all will be history.
When GEJ removed Sunusi nobody expected it, they just threw allegations, manipulated the process and sacked him.

Suspended, maybe Yes. Illegal but others have been doing it.

"The President does not have the power to sack the CBN governor without the approval of the National Assembly." Full Stop.

Section 11 of the CBN Act 2007 clarifies more.

Just as I thought.
The blog that even carried the news sounds like one of those many run by a semi-illiterate who out of joblessness went into blogging and having not made it financially,as he dreamed,came up with this rumour,hoping to use it to create traffic,knowing there are many Nigerians out there that don't use their commonsense to question the authenticity or logic of what they read.
Much as this government is the most useless on earth,I for one have been a firm advocate of regulation of the social media,or in the alternative,laws to make it easier for people to sue for lies,defamation or slander made online and to get culprits severely punished.

SLS was suspended and never sacked. That was why his replacement Sarah Alade was in Acting Capacity and never will have been confirmed until the NASS approved.

And so because GEJ did it, Buhari can do it?

Did your party not condemn the action then?

Yes if Buhari wants The CBN governor gone he's toast but the news of him actually do so is fake and should be discounted. By the way President Jonathan erred in sacking Sanusi back then, he abused his presidential powers and we hope Buhari doesn't go down that route

Buhari can sack him but this man is doing the bid of Malami that is why is staying there

. The process of removal is always manipulated by making the CBN Governor resign voluntarily. That was what happened to Emefiele. He was made to resign against his will. That made his position vacant.If I were him I would resign immediately after the tenure of Buhari and travel out.
