The co-convener of Bring Back Our Girls movement, Oby Ezekwesili on Friday alleged that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele handed over the control of the apex bank to President Muhammadu Buhari seven years ago.
Ezekwesili made this claim while reacting to Emefiele’s decision to contest the 2023 presidential election under the ruling party (APC).
Emefiele picked the All Progressive Congress N100m presidential nomination and expression of interest form on Friday, which puts to rest the speculations about his running or not.
The former Minister of Education, further stated that the CBN had long-handed its independence to the Villa since APC government took over power in 2015.
Ezekwesili wrote, “If you did not know all along that Nigeria’s serial wrong and ill-advised Monetary Policies of the last 7 years were political because the @cenbank long-handed its independence to the Villa @NGRPresident @MBuhari, at least now you know. They’ve outed themselves. Finally.”
She however called on the CBN governor to resign from office and not destroy the remaining monetary policy reputation of the country.
Ezekwesili added, “The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria @cenbank must now immediately tender his resignation to stop further destroying whatever little remains of the country’s monetary policy reputation. Mr Emefele should leave immediately- tonight- to pursue his ill-fated political career.”
