Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has slammed Godwin Emefiele, the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, as unfit to remain in office for attempting to be the next president. He will also frustrate the chances of the All Progressives Congress to win the February 25 presidential election with the persisting naira scarcity.

We have said that this man (Mr Emefiele) should be removed when he contested to be president. The man (Mr Emefile) is not fit for that position (CBN governor),” Mr Akeredolu was quoted in a statement issued by his spokesman, Richard Olatunde, on Wednesday. “A man who attempted to be president will frustrate us at this time.”

Last week, the Ondo governor filed a suit at the Supreme Court challenging the CBN February 10 deadline for the N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes to be legal tender, citing the untold hardship scarcity of the new notes have brought on people.

The governor, who spoke while playing host to Seyi Tinubu, Bola Tinubu’s son, who led members of the youth directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, explained, “We have a problem we are facing in this country today. Our rating as a party is not that favourable. Let’s not deceive ourselves. Must it be now that we will have this financial policy?”

Mr Akeredolu added, “How, Fuel and everything? Things are not easy. This policy is not right at this time. It should be reversed. Reserve it and tell CBN that we are reversing it. Let old, and new notes co-exist.”

He lamented that Okada, taxis, and banks “are not taking old notes again. There is an injunction, and everyone is behaving like there is no injunction.”

According to the governor, the choice of Mr Tinubu as APC’s flag bearer for the February 25 poll was based on his competence and track records.

“We didn’t waver when we said that the presidency must come to the South, and when it got to the South, we didn’t waver. We said competence and track record are important,” stated Mr Akeredolu. “Our choice of Asiwaju was premised on the informed decision, not because we are from the same tribe.”

Stupid talk!

Rather you should say Emefiele is frustrating Tinubu corrupt tendencies and ability to buy INEC.

The man whom the people reject, the gods has also rejected.
Competence and track record my anus.

Tell Tinubu to go and rest!

Emefiele is doing the good works of the Lord
Agbado urchins have always backed Emefiele before now even as Nigerians have been weeping because of the economic hardship and unfavorable policies from CBN but urchins before now sang to the praises of Emefiele as the best all because of Thiefnubuu's selfish ambition to be president he can BEVER be. Now,same Emefiele is frustrating their corrupt plan and tears are everywhere.

Thiefnubuu and Ganduje's 22billion naira old notes stocked in Kano for vote buying and bribing INEC officials have turned to papers. Reason Elrufai and Ganduje are both killing themselves over the matter. Keep wailing. U think NIGERIANs are stupid

Let them take the 22billion they stocked to Supreme court. Even courts are now rejecting the old notes
Thiefnubuu is a gonner

Absolute rubbish. What about poor NIGERIANS that are suffering?

As a patriotic Nigerian citizen, Emefiele should be celebrated for frustrating the ambitions of a diseased drug lord who wants to buy his way to the presidency of his country.
A new Nigeria is POssible
Vote LP

I thought this governor get sense before, but it's obvious he doesn't mean good to the common man in the society. Tinubu will fail because he is not fit to be the president.

Let's stop deceiving ourselves. Emefiele has already prepared a large sum of new Naira notes for Tinubu.

Ridiculous assumptions..

For the fact that nobody that contested APC primary election is supporting Tinubu is enough msg for you to understand the perception they have on Bola..

Since 2020, Buhari's body language against Tinubu's ambition has been very visible to the blind ... It didn't start today..

What happend before the primaries is enough evidence

.

Why are people attacking Emefiele instead of Buhari his master. Is it foolishness or cowardice?

Crybaby

That's a lie ,is he the only presidential candidates in Nigeria

Tears of pain and agony is evident in APC right now.

He's not but if you can think well, you'll understand that Nigerian's will transfer the aggression on Tinubu because APC is in government and he's the flag bearer of the party..
Hope you now know why

Luckylife:

Tinubu and his clueless and corrupt Governor’s ti lule piii piii. Naira redesign has come to stay joor. February 25th must Obey. Atiku Abubakar wins February 25th presidential poll. Atiku Abubakar everywhere you go

Emefiele is a hero of democracy... He should be given a national merit award for being courageous despite the sabotage from Tinubu, some APC governors & corrupt bank officials.
No amount of blackmail can deter Buhari & Emefiele. CSOs & sane Nigerians support this policy.
However, the CBN should improve on the implementation

Ok let reason base on your facts, it means Buhari the president and father of APC want Tinubu to lose by allowing this policy implementation by his appointee to continue?
Or my thoughts is that many polls about election have predicted that ,one of the ways APC will win this election is if there are low turnout from the youths on this election. So APC indirectly supporting this policy that will heaten the tention and the youths are Energetic and easily deceived to create crisis which in turn may reduce their participation.
Nigeria old politicians are mysterious and can go to any extend to get what they want .
Is CBN an appointee bigger than few elected governors in APC? This people are cooking something fishy and smelly.

Facts about Emefiele

I wonder what gives urchins false hopes & why they overestimate Tinubu's chances.

With imminent defeat staring Tinubu & APC in the face, they've started wailing already.

With their modus operandi destroyed ie no control over INEC (difficult to rig), ballot box snatching & results manipulations very difficult; vote buying defeated by new naira notes, Tinubu's & his camp have already given up hope & resorted to wailing.

At this stage I think it's safe to say that Buhari, Emefiele & Mahmoud Yakubu are the heroes of our democracy by playing pivotal roles to ensure that corrupt politicians do not hatch their evil plans to undermine the conduct of a credible election.

Gaslighting, hypocrisy and brainlessness are surely prerequisites for becoming APC members

He is not alone. This I have seen

How?


Is it only Tinubu that is using Naira in Nigeria?

"There is an injunction, and everyone is behaving like there is no injunction.”

Clown. Emefiele is not your mate.

-Lord

Bunch of thieves

See the type of fools we have.

When fuel price started increasing last year, they didn't talk. Fuel is still high now at 450 naira per litre, they haven't said Buhari is sabotaging Tinubu's ambition, despite the fact that Buhari is minister of petroleum.

Emefiele is obeying Buhari's order. If you are brave enough, attack Buhari and leave Emefiele alone.

Vote buying? That's not being popular. Let Tinubu square up with Obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso on a free, fair and credible election and not buying people with money. I heard him shouting like a drowning nigga the other day "do you love mee?" Let him test and see the number that love him.

Tinubu is not the popular choice among yorubas, Igbos and hausas. Period. He knows it. Only fuuls don't.

our suffering as Nigerians didn't start with naira redesign. We can hold on for the next 1 month when the corrupte hostage takers would have been decimated politically.

Best caption: Emefiele is frustrating Tinubu's plan of rigging the presidential election...yeye people

Your Excellency Sir, how

ChangetheChange:
“We didn’t waver when we said that the presidency must come to the South, and when it got to the South, we didn’t waver. We said competence and track record are important,” stated Mr Akeredolu. “Our choice of Asiwaju was premised on the informed decision, not because we are from the same tribe.”

See hypocrisy at it's peak. When it comes to North or South, you see it as more important to come to the south, not because of competence. Bit when it comes down to south, knowing fully well SW and SS have had their stints at the top job, you now shift post, advocating for competence and not for it to go to the SE.

Even at that, it visible to all that as far as 2023 presidential election is concerned, Bola Tinubu is not the most competent of all the aspirants from the south.

Tribalism and zombiesm still hold this one.

This is laughable

Emefiele is not your problem

Face Buhari, he is the one giving the orders

Abi them dey fear bubu

Why are people attacking Emefiele instead of Buhari his master. Is it foolishness or cowardice?

They are afraid to call him out so as to not lose the 12 million northern votes they hope to inherit

Even primary school kids knows that with Emefiele and Buhari playing together in this Game of Thrones, that Tinubu can never win this coming election.

Emefiele and the cabals future is at stake here, so they will fight tooth and nail to make sure that Tinubu never wins.

And after incumbent might, Tinubu's last chance is vote buying.

Now, incumbent might he doesn't have, vote Buying he can't.. Wahala wahala wahala
