@ImohUmoren: A serving CBN Governor wants to be President without resigning first? The clouds you see over Nigeria…you know the rest.
@DanielRegha: The CBN Governor running for president (if true) is a game plan to split votes. APC knows what they’re doin, while southerners fight among themselves to grab power, northerners pretend to be rivals publicly but stay united behind close doors; This has always been their strategy.
@etoro111: A sitting CBN governor is a party member and is preparing to campaign for the Presidency. Is there no sane person inside that APC? Not even 1?
@Eromoseileso: At one time under this govt, the homes of Supreme Court Justices were invaded at night by the DSS, like they were drug barons and nothing happened. The CBN governor thing shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s the new normal. No regard for the sanctity of national institutions.
@ezehenry159: These are some of the stories I would be doubting if I had read it from history, a CBN governor in a democratic govt vigorously vying to be predient without resigning his office as CBN GOVANO..WHAT A COUNTRY.
@OmikeMove: CBN Governor who crashessssss Nigeria Economy More than Two Fucking times like a DJ is campaigning for a Political position. People are already shouting his name. This dude is a FAILURE trying to look for Political Immunity to escape being interrogated.
@Advsola: A sitting CBN governor is campaigning to contest under a political party without being cautioned, warned or reprimanded. These guys continue to destroy the institutions. Mad.
@ronaldnzimora: Man, Emefiele is in office as CBN Governor and launching a Presidential campaign right in our faces, with obviously NOT HIS Money. I mean this is surreal even going by this horrible Govt’s standards.
@Hitee: It’s actually insane that a CBN Governor is planning to run under a political party and he’s still a CBN Governor. This is ridiculous, we have an institutional problem in this country.
@sexy_oma: Wait, CBN governor wants to be president, with all those rubbish bank policies he came up with, he now wants us to hand over the country to him so he runs it the way he ran our economy down with foolish policies.
@Mika_I3: Everything the @MBuhari and @OfficialAPCNg said they would do..they did quite the opposite. Just close your eyes and imagine a sitting “CBN Governor” contesting for president while still in charge of the little penny we have left as a country.
