Following the appeal by Zamfara state Governor, Bello Matawalle that The Federal Government should deny the Central Bank (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefele travel leave so that he can give an account of the alleged disastrous naira policy to the incoming government, the Federal Government has responded that the Governor expressed his opinion.
This was made known by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed during an interactive session with reporters.
Mohammed said, “The governor has the right to make suggestions; that is his own opinion.”
Recall, Roundoffnews reported that Matawalle in a press statement said the policy which put Nigerians through untold woes and trauma and set the economy backward was initiated and implemented by CBN Governor adding that Emefele superintended over the management of the country’s financial and monetary systems.
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.”
