…appeals to Buhari to reject leave
By Udesinanna Stephen
Following the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefele’s plan to proceed on study leave abroad, the Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to reject the planned leave saying that Emefele must remain to account for the recent disastrous Naira swap policy that troubled Nigerians.
The appeal was obtained from the Twitter handle of the Director Media and Publicity, All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential Campaign, Bayo Onanuga, @aonanuga1956.
According to Matawalle, the policy which put Nigerians through untold woes and trauma and set our economy backward was initiated and implemented by CBN Governor adding that Emefele superintended over the management of the country’s financial and monetary systems.
More so, the Governor recalled how he and some other Governors fought against the policy at the court until it was achieved.
The Zamfara Governor said “This same Emefiele now wants to proceed on study leave when he has some 10 months left of his tenure apparently in a bid to evade rendering accounts.
“This is unacceptable. President Buhari should not countenance this. Emefiele must stay at his job to give full accounts of all that transpired under his watch to the incoming administration.
“He must answer all the questions the new regime may have for him particularly when he still has some months left of his tenure.” he said.
