HEDA in a Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/713/2022, filed on May 24, 2022, is seeking an interpretation of section 9 of the CBN Act 2007, to determine the fate of Emefiele in his political ambition and continuation as the CBN Governor.

A civil society organisation, the Human and Environmental Development Agenda , has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja, against the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Godwin Emefiele, over his participation in politics and presidential ambition while still in office.

Referring to section 9 of the CBN Act 2007, HEDA in the suit sought an interpretation on whether Emefiele as the CBN governor is allowed to engage in other business or partisan politics. HEDA further sought an interpretation to know whether Emefiele by being a registered member of the ruling All Progressives Congress and having declared interest to run for the post of president of Nigeria does not put him in a conflicting situation with his role as the CBN Governor.

Also required the court’s interpretation is whether Emefiele’s being a registered member of the ruling APC with presidential ambition does not put the electoral process in a difficult position with his role as the Chairman of the Board of Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company responsible for printing some of the electoral materials by virtue of being the CBN Governor.
