If Obi will be qualified for the position, why not? The target is about Nigeria working for all of us

Pandora Obituary is not qualified to be in Tinubu's cabinet.

His stewardship as a governor is nothing to write home about.

Pls remove Sanusi Lamido's name. Asiwaju does not need a controversial and lousy political minded man in CBN at this point. The industry is yet to recover from his lousy and clumsy intervention in 2009 with d attendant Amcon problem. Nigeria needs a fresh perspective in CBN not a recycled element. Moreover he is not a core BAT guy. Watch out for the likes of Fola Adeola, founding MD of GTBank.

Like father like son.
No date of birth
No primary school
No secondary School.......

Sanusi can't work here and what is he coming back to do?
