Following a presidential directive for appointees with political ambitions in 2023 to resign by Monday, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday met with President Muhammadu Buhari, after which he declared that “there will be news.”
Asked by State House Correspondents to react to the story that the President had directed him to resign forthwith, Emefiele
replied: “There is no news now, but there will be news. You heard me, I said there is no news but there will be news.”
According to him: “Let them have heart attack. It’s good to have heart attack. I am having a lot of fun.”
A group of farmers had procured the N100 million presidential nomination forms of the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC), for Emefiele, a move he denied as having his backing.
Nonetheless, videos have emerged of several vehicles adorned with Emefiele’s presidential campaign materials.
