President Muhammadu has sacked the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, an unconfirmed report has revealed.

Godwin Emefiele was engulfed in controversies after expressing genuine interest in becoming the next president of Nigeria and does not wish to resign his position before contesting.

After several outcry by the public, calling for his resignation shortly after purchasing the N100m form of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Emefiele approached a Federal High Court in Abuja to prevent the country’s electoral body INEC from disqualifying him.

President Buhari in a response to the expression of interest by his appointees ordered the resignation of every one of his cabinet members interested in vying for political offices in 2023.

While some of his appointees obeyed the order, many including the Governor of the CBN failed to resign.

On Tuesday, the CBN governor withdrew the suit he filed against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation over his presidential ambition.

His exact reasons for withdrawing the suit remain unclear, his Lawyers, however, explained that he prayed the court to discontinue the suit and make an order striking it out.

Good

Very good

It was just as if the man was appointed to protect the interest of the banks rather than that of Nigerians. Buhari should have replaced him after his first tenure.

Why he allowed banks to be charging unnecessary ₦65 is one thing I will not understand, a policy Sanusi Lamido cancelled, the idiot bought it back.

I never really believe this news though, Buhari do not have such a power, to unilaterally sack a CBN Governor. But if is true, let's wait and see if he will take the FG to court.

Nice one, Modafuka

Lmao. As I just dey see am for news I dey see am here. Next is chase by EFCC

Please sack the most incompetent CBN gov ever

Well deserved though it's coming late

His news has become stale..so now, his sack is the new news and the incompetence of the head is temporarily forgotten

Ehn

Can the president unilaterally sack the CBN governor? He needs 2/3 of the senate to to that. Maybe he suspended him (even that he doesn't have the unilateral power to do so), but sack?

My opinion: useless publication. If they cannot use the right words words no need reading such rubbish.

Dumb question. Didn't Jonathan sack Sanusi?

Buhari has sacked the CBN Governor, first reasonable thing he has ever done in 7years.

No be some people's "anointed candidate" be that?

Ok

it's not dumb but valid question. Jonathan only suspended sanusi and he went to court to reclaim his seat. He can only sack him in conjunction with National assembly. Although our nass is yes sir people so buhari will always have his way. It is honourable for cbn governor to resign since he became partisan.

Not a dumb question. Is it lawful? Does the president have the powers? You Nigerians have been so abused you don't know the law and don't know what is right. You come online arguing blindly.

Please before quoting me go and read the constitution. Even at that Jonathan didn't sack Sanusi. He was suspended. And even then the was unlawful and wrong!

This guy has loaded enough cash to enter politics and thrive on the wings of his promoters

A good one there. However, it shouldn't be a near-election stuff

UNCONFIRMED REPORT

E don partially wake from slumber...when the guy had crippled Naira

All this are deliberate plans to rearrange the system for the New government to thrive, so also with the Accountant General.
If care is not taken CJN might still join, this is West Africa politics for you

Too good too bad economy bastardisd

Ehn

Way to go

The Naira lost over 70% of its value in the period he was the Governor of our Apex Bank.

According to the laws of the land, the President can’t sack the CBN Governor, it has to go through the National Assembly to effect the sack. Meanwhile, he can suspend him while the process of the removal goes on.
