Presidency: I Have Not Decided Yet, CBN Gov. Emefiele Tells Supporters

CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele

Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has rejected the presidential nomination form allegedly bought for him by a group of farmers to contest Nigeria’s presidency in 2023.
Emefiele, who took to his verified Twitter handle today, May 7, said that he had not yet decided to run for the presidential contest.
He thanked the farmers for considering him worthy and that when it is time for him to declare, he would do so in compliance with extant laws and with his personal money.
“I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.”
Reports that Emefiele joined the race for Nigeria’s presidency had sparked reactions with many calling for his immediate sack by President Muhammadu Buhari, arguing that his action was in gross violation of CBN Act, the Public Service Act and the constitution, all of which require the CBN Governor not to be politically exposed.
