'You're corrupt', lawmaker-elect Agbese slams Emefiele - Punch Newspapers

“Emefiele has no business in governance. He is corrupt, incompetent, and vicious – bereft of ideas to move the country forward and without a sustainable solution to the current hardship faced by Nigerians.

“He has done almost irreparable damage to the nation’s economy, wiping out small businesses and condemning Nigerians with an inescapable reliance on cash to death by hunger. The country was pushed to a cliff and investors fled in droves. There was no justification for Emefiele to continue in his role.

“Emefiele defied all extant laws and dabbled into partisan politics even though it was clear he could not while holding office. Mr. Emefiele failed woefully in stirring the country out of the economic meltdown that characterized the COVID-19 pandemic. His failed policies and sham loan schemes were politicized and given only to his cronies.

“There are too many allegations against the same man. The N89 trillion from stamp duties, his links to Polaris Banks, and his connection with a syndicate of Bureau de Change agents as well as alleged terrorism financing among others. His recent naira redesign policy was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“While his suspension is commendable, I want to urge the president to allow the security agents thoroughly probe Emefiele. He should be jailed if found guilty. I also want the president to beam his torchlight on other corrupt officials”.All rights reserved.
