Protesters For Emefiele Must Go Storm Aso Rock.
A pro-democracy group called Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders in Nigeria (CACLN) stormed the Presidential Villa on Thursday and demanded that Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, be fired immediately for “fraud, misappropriating government funds, and continuing unwholesome practices in the country’s foreign exchange management.”
A sizable crowd attended the “Emefiele Must Go” demonstration.
Speaking to media, the convener, Dauda Yakubu, said that Emefiele had “desecrated the venerated Apex Bank in Nigeria and rendered the nation a laughing stock in the comity of nations.”
“I welcome you all to this meeting, which was called with the utmost concern for our beloved nation. We have seen one of the worst leaders in the history of the Nigerian Project, as concerned stakeholders, he said.
“Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has not only dishonored the esteemed Apex Bank in Nigeria but has also turned the nation into an international laughingstock.
He is also renowned for his preference for voodoo economics. The country’s economy has actually suffered in unthinkable ways as a result of the policy reversals and inconsistent budgetary measures. This is quite tragic, and we would want to state publicly that Godwin Emefiele is unfit to serve as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria for the foreseeable future.
It is still unclear why the governor of a nation’s sensitive central bank would become involved in partisan politics by running for president and spending billions of naira from the bank’s vaults to further his political ambitions.
“It is highly dishonorable and goes against all accepted norms in the industry for the Governor of the Central Bank to be neck deep in FX round tripping. This suggests that Godwin Emefiele must have been providing patrons and donors with confidential government information on financial and fiscal policy throughout the year.
“We are aware that the CBN governor used the redesign of the naira as a means of disguising some of the irregularities he allowed to continue while in office. In order to change the color of several naira denominations, numerous billions of naira were spent.
Godwin Emefiele is an economic saboteur who needs to be detained and charged with fraud, misappropriation of public money, upholding dishonest methods in the nation’s currency management, among other offenses that are too numerous to list. The fresh information about the stamp duties account has brought to light the need to remove Godwin Emefiele from his position as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
“He lacks the moral authority and moral fortitude to oversee the operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He is about to throw the nation into an unthinkable economic calamity and is morally bankrupt. His voodoo economic strategies have caused the nation to suffer greatly.
