In his lawsuit against INEC and the attorney-general, Godwin Emefiele argued he will suffer “irreparable damage” if he is not allowed to run for president while serving as the central bank governor.

A decision is expected this afternoon from the Federal High Court, Abuja.

This man is truly selfish


What stops you from resigning and contest?

I don't have this people's time!....I am a builder looking for a contractor or an engineer to work for, base in port Harcourt but currently in Abuja looking for an opportunity to connect...ready to travel to any part of the country no matter how interior the site is located..

Anyone interested in giving me the opportunity should DM me...thanks

Firstly, by Instituting the case alone and the manner he has surreptitiously taken this case has made Godwin Emefiele lose every credibility, that is if he had any.

Section 84(12) & its wahala. Every person in the Federal Executive arm is a political appointee excepting the President & his Vice.

In Oni v Fayemi, the Appeal Court ruled that while the Ministers are Public Officers, they are not employed in the Public Service of the Federation. The determination of Emefiele or any other public Officer will rest on the nature of their appointment.

3 types of employment are recognised in Nigeria;
A. Employment at will or servant holding an office at pleasure of employer, i.e. Master and servant relationship.

B. Employment by written contract of employment;

C. Employment which is governed by statute;

Ministers fall under Section A. (Their position isn't tenured and they can be fired at any time by the President without recourse to anything or anybody).

The CBN been a legislation of the National Assembly falls under C.
This is an employment with statutory flavour. The employment or termination is protected by statute or laid down regulations and it is usually tenured. However, the SC has said many times that employment with a Statutory body is not automatically clothed with statutory flavour but will be determined by the contractual terms between employer & employee in the letter of employment.

To have a statutory flavour, the appointment and removal of the employee must be defined in the enabling statute so that a valid determination of such employment is predicated upon the satisfaction of the statutory provisions. What it means literally is that: If the Senate does not support the President according to the CBN Act, the Governor will be reinstated if the President touches him.

I believe it is clear from the Act on screenshot below that Emefiele is employed in the Service of The Federation and should leave there 30 days before the date of election.

The question: Should The date of the election be 30 days to the Primary election or 30 days to the general election. A question for another day.

Just imagine how low Buhari has reduced Nigeria to ...

Ozekhome will appear on Channels TV shouting about how wrong Emefiele is to be contesting but here is his Chambers representing and seeking this injunction on Emefiele's behalf.

Fergie SAN, I honestly think you should take the place of Malami as the new AGF.
Well articulated!

Dude is brilliant.

Emefiele should just resign and stop embarrassing himself.

I just can't understand this Emiefele presidency matter oooo. Who are the people driving this idea? Where is the president? Or is he the brain behind this shame?

The only thing shameful about Emefiele’s aspiration is that he hasn’t resigned.

Other than that, is he not qualified to contest?

About those behind him…

Ask Mamman Daura and other nephews and family members of President Buhari.

Isn't your first sentence the shame? Of course it is. I've not seen anyone saying he's not qualified. But for God's sake you can't be sitting as governor of CBN and contesting for president. Isn't that madness? It's a national shame. There's nothing that has not happened in this buhari government. For him to even have the temerity to ask the court to declare that he can sit there and run,is most shameful.

That man is one of the most corrupt lawyers in Nigeria. The only language he understands is money.

I think APC Is up to something,we just don’t have a good political strategist in Nigeria otherwise they would have found out what this Emefiele is all about because the whole issue make no sense
If Emefiele should be allowed to contest,it simply means the inspector general and military generals even chief Justice and INEC chairman are also qualify to contest while in office because they are all political appointees
All these make you hate democracy especially in Africa
These people are playing with fire

. You have indeed analysed the position of the law on Emefele's matter. No addition no subtraction . Thank you greatly Mr Garfield and to all those that continue to make this legal plartform educative. However I wonder if our politicians have legal advisers on electoral matter. Why do they like going to a journey of no return?
