The drama, which has now come to be tagged a messy affair in certain quarters, revolves around the coded political gamble involving Nigeria’s top banker, Mr. Godwin Emefiele. But, the political thriller tagged Meffy2023, by friends of the CBN governor was a script authored by very powerful, high net-worth, and influential individuals.
It was in that process of dismissing insinuations of possible estrangement that Buhari’s inner men found that Goddy was a jolly good fellow. He was later to win the confidence of his new employers when he began implementing CBN’s interventionist currency scheme. Many had thought that in his characteristic manner, the president would bid the CBN governor goodbye and seek his replacement from the northern “hemisphere.” Spurred by the disappointing turn, the Eighth Senate headed by highly critical Bukola Saraki confirmed the Emefiele’s second term mandate on Thursday, May 16, 2019.
In a nation used to electoral banditry, the CBN has been serving as a secure pavilion where sensitive electoral materials are warehoused. As such critics complained of the inherent dangers of storing such critical resources in the care of a partisan and interested contender. Yet, as calls for him to rein in his ambition or resign his appointment came from left, right and centre, the central banker hired a lawyer to secure a court order of the court granting him the special waiver to retain his office and participate in the Presidential contest.
The order of status quo ante bellum that Emefiele sought through his counsel, Mike Ozekhome , was to prevent INEC and AGF from forcing him to resign within the 80 days prescribed by Section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022 as amended, instead of 30 days to the general election stipulated by the constitution.
Sustaining that refrain against Emefiele’s presidential ambition, Akeredolu, who is also a senior lawyer enjoined the CBN governor to “resign from office before declaring to run for president.” The groups expressed alarm, saying: “Nigeria’s economic woes will worsen if Mr. Godwin Emefiele continues to formulate and supervise the execution of Nigeria’s monetary policies as an APC member. He would be flouting international best practices and standards, which forbids a CBN Governor from being a member of a political party.”
This guy should go and rest he knows very he won't get the ticket why the fight and many attention
