Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo, has asked Godwin Emefiele, governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to resign his position if he wants to contest the presidency.

TheCable had reported that three interest groups procured the presidential nomination form of the All Progressives Congress for Emefiele.

The representatives of the coalition of three groups — “rice farmers”, “Emefiele Support Group” and “Friends of Godwin Emefiele” — were said to have picked the form on Friday at the International Conference Centre in Abuja. The development stirred varied reactions on social media as some Nigerians queried why the CBN governor will contest the presidency while still in office.Speaking on the development in a statement, Akeredolu said Emefiele cannot participate actively in partisan politics and also hold the position of CBN governor.

“Consequently, we admonish Mr Emefiele to leave the office, immediately, for him to pursue his interest,” the Ondo governor said. “He cannot combine partisan politics with the very delicate assignment of his office. Should he refuse to quit, it becomes incumbent on the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to remove him forthwith.”
