Ezekwesili to Emefiele: resign immediately
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele to resign and stop embarrassing the country.
Emefiele has come under criticism after a group of friends and farmers obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for him on Friday.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, Ezekwesili carpeted the CBN Governor and asked him resign and stop destroying the country’s monetary policy reputation.
She said: “I just read your waffling neither-here-nor-there tweet reacting to news of your payment of N100M for the APC Nomination form for 2023 Presidential election. Seems you did not read what the APC Spokesperson said to @Bloomberg . Resign. Stop embarrassing the country. Stop.
“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.
“@GodwinIEmefiele This is for you. Time to end your low-grade hide and seek game that dangerously toys with the monetary authority of this country and its people. Resign. It is legitimate aspiration to seek to be President of Nigeria but resign from @cenbank to go pursue it.
“I constantly remind especially the Monetary (Central Banks) authorities of African countries that considering incontrovertible evidence that Inflation is the greatest enemy of the Poor, they must give their best to holding it down. But what have we seen with Political @cenbank?”
