Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano yesterday hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for recommending the retention of Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria .
The committee, chaired by Senator Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim, it was learnt, will give the screening accelerated consideration due to its urgency.Asked about the alleged “flood of petitions” against Emefiele’s recommendation for reappointment, a National Assembly source noted that “the petitions for whatever they are worth would be considered by the committee”.
“I will, however, tell you that it is not abnormal for petitions to be written against a nominee for appointment. It does not end at writing petitions. He said the people of Anambra were excited on the reappointment because it was “based purely on merit and an appreciation of the values of policy consistency, national interest, financial system stability and a strong desire for rapid national economic growth”.
“The President deserves commendation for standing firm on his decision on Emefiele’s reappointment, unlike a former President who was enamoured of Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s brilliance, foresight, energy, patriotism and accomplishments as the CBN governor, but at the end of the day succumbed to pressures from those who didn’t want Prof Soludo back for parochial reasons.
