A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has faulted the decision of President Bola Tinubu to suspend Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria.
Recall that Emefiele was suspended with immediate effect following an ongoing investigation into his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy. He was asked to handover to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), Mr Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi.
Reacting to this on his Twitter handle, Reno Omokri said,
“The suspension of Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, by President Bola Tinubu is not in good taste. It appears to be a vindictive act, to punish Mr Emefiele for the patriotic Naira redesign policy, which was meant, among other things, to reduce the impact of money on the #NigerianElections2023. President Tinubu started well. Indeed, I have had cause to praise him. But he should not mar the progress he has made by this act of seeming vengeance. The country needs unity and stability after a fractious election. Now is the time for appeasement, not punishment. It is hoped that the President will reconsider his actions for the nation’s greater good.”
