Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to cancel the study leave purported granted to the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

The governor said Emefiele does not deserve to go on such leave due to his monetary policy which he called “a disastrous naira swap policy” that subjected Nigerians to untold hardship.

Reports emerged last week that Buhari granted a study leave to the CBN governor which will see him travel out of the country.

But in reaction to the news, Matawalle said Buhari should forfeit the leave to necessitate peaceful transition of power.

He, however, lavished praises on the President describing him as a patriot, democrat and a man of impeccable integrity and character.

Matawalle said Buhari has also demonstrated good faith by showing his readiness for a seamless transfer of power to the incoming administration.

“President Buhari and his wife Aisha Buhari have shown good faith and shown they want a seamless orderly and peaceful transfer of power to the incoming administration,” Matawalle said.

“They are eager to ensure that the new regime takes off smoothly and speedily and in a manner devoid of any encumbrance in the interest of our country.

“This is the right thing to do and I commend President Buhari and his wife for their statesmanly conduct.

“However, other officers in the government have acted in a different manner. They are behaving as if they want to put spanners in the work for the incoming regime.

“President Buhari should not allow this. He should frown at any attempt by any person seeking to damage the good job he has done.

“I want, here and now, to urge President Buhari to not approve any study leave or whatever kind of leave for any officer critical to the take-off of the incoming administration of Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“One of such persons that has been speculated in the media to have sought a study leave is Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele.

“If the leave has been approved, as reported in the media, the President should cancel it in the interest of peaceful transfer of power, accountability and good governance.”

Matawalle said Emefiele must be made to account for all that transpired under his watch to the incoming administration.

“CBN Governor Emefiele superintended over the management of the country’s financial and monetary systems. He is the one who initiated and implemented the recent disastrous naira swap policy, the naira confiscation program, which put Nigerians through untold woes and trauma and set our economy backwards,” he said.

“Two of my brother-governors and I took the federal government to court over this ill-advised policy and fought resolutely until we got a respite for our people from Emefiele and company.

“This same Emefiele now wants to proceed on study leave when he has some 10 months left of his tenure apparently in a bid to evade rendering accounts. This is unacceptable.

“President Buhari should not countenance this. Emefiele must stay at his job to give full accounts of all that transpired under his watch to the incoming administration.

“He must answer all the questions the new regime may have for him particularly when he still has some months left of his tenure.”

Matawalle also asked Buhari not to approve foreign postings or grant any foreign trips for any officer at any level in the outgoing government.

“I’m aware that some officers in the outgoing government are moving to surreptitiously leave the country at this critical time they are needed to answer to specific questions, though I would not want mention their names here,” he added.

“President Buhari should not heed their inordinate and unpatriotic plan. These plans are dangerous and devilish. They show clearly that these officers have something to hide.

“This must be halted immediately. Any plan to evade rendering accounts is neither in the interest of accountability, transparency and anti-corruption.”

The Presidency had said it was unaware of the purported decision of Buhari granting study leave to Emefiele.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said this while reacting to inquiries from Daily Trust.

The presidential spokesman had said: “If the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has been granted study leave supposedly by President Muhammadu Buhari, this is unknown to us. It is also unknown to the President’s secretariat headed by the Chief of Staff.”

The foolish cowards will leave Buhari, the main architect of the whole thing. Na when they hear Emefiele that they will start barking.


You have to be a fool to praise Buhari and condemn Emefiele.

The best Buhari can do for Emefiele now is to sack him so he (Emefiele) quickly handover and japa. I strongly doubt Tinubu will not set an Investigative board to x-ray his stewardship as the cbn governor. It will take more than a miracle not to find him culpable of some shady deals and that is where the hammer will be brought down on him.

And to make things worse for him, Nigerians are very united in their agreement that Emefiele should be seriously punished not just for the suffering he inflicted with that naira swap dogshit, but for taking the whole country for a ride. Okay, the new naira note he claimed should take over the old one, where is it now?

The only two people happy with this Emefiele madness are Atiku and Peter Obi, unfortunately for him, they both lose the presidential elections.

Seven times Nnamdi Kanu has violated his bail conditions

I don’t care, says Nnamdi Kanu as he violates bail condition — second time in 3 days

For the second time in three days, Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has violated the conditions of the bail granted to him.

On April 25, Binta Nyako, justice of a federal high court in Abuja, granted him bail on health grounds.

However, she ordered Kanu not to grant media interviews and to avoid being seen in a crowd of more than 10 people.

But on Saturday, Kanu addressed a crowd of supporters, numbering more than 10, at his father’s palace in Abia state.

Cantonese:
How is Matawalle better than Emefiele, corruption wise? With all the stories of unaccounted gold and funds stolen in Zamfara state under his watch, how can he make such a comment?

Matawalle is in no position to make such a request. Those who go to equity must have clean hands.

Jomonix:


Atiku and Obi were both non APC politicians. I hope you didn't forget

LeoDeKing:

Stop typing bunkum.

Tinubu is in APC and was indeed the presidential flagbearer of the party, yet he condemned the useless naira swap. You and your ilk claimed it is for his selfish interest because he had stored 100 trillion naira in bullion van.

Atiku and Obi are not in APC, on what basis were they supporting the clearly useless policy if not desperation?

Sonyboom:

Dsalvo:


They will but Tinubu is not remotely interested in what they think or say. Watch the man and you will note he speaks when he has something to say unlike the insincerely loquacious empty barrel who is the leader of the "set of people" you refer to i.e Peter Obi.

Indeed they will call it a witch hunt but all sensible Nigerians now know what to expect from those who defend and plead for evil once it is from their own.

With Kanu, for example, it is amusing how many Igbos, from Gidgiddy of NL to prominent Igbos, are insisting on his release never mind the number of people Kanu has directly sent to premature graves with his murderers and cannibals.

If not for Buhari's lackadaisical style and the incompetent hirelings he insists on working with, I.e Malami etal, Kanu would long be in jail for terrorism, directly soliciting for arms to fight Nigeria, instigating violence endlessly on Radio Biafra and even jumping bail.

This was a man who flouted every bail condition given him originally to include a ban against convening a crowd. This, and so many other misdeeds of Kanu, are very basic infractions in law Kanu would be jailed for in less than two weeks in serious nations.

This is why I cannot wait to see the back of Buhari so we gain a serious Government that knows how to lead and is conscious of the image befitting a government that wishes to be taken seriously worldwide.

Tinubu will not talk much but his leadership, with meritorious leaders at every level, where we will see an Akeredolu-type as AGF and Minister of justice, will silence Igbos and end their immature/unreasonable conducts and demand.

Tinubu knows how to create governance that micro-zones responsibility so effectively even the most stubborn and irresponsible person will never call Mr.President's name when a sagacious and efficient AGF and Minister of justice, for example, is in place and awake to his duty.

Igbos simply know how to take advantage of lawlessness, incompetence, confusion, unprofessionalism and dithering which is what Buhari created yet Tinubu will not tolerate.

gidgiddy:



This is the backward mindset of a Nigerian who claims he wants democracy, but wants it run military style.

He says Kanu jumped bail but will never say that Kanu was forced to leave when the federal government sent the military illegally to his house to kill him

He says that Kanu flouted his bail conditions but it is only the court that gave Kanu bail, that had the right ti decide what was flouted or not, then revoke the bail

He says that Kanu sent many people to their graves but cannot present one single evidence to back up the allegation, beyond mere words

Hi own federal government went all the way to Kenya to kidnap and bring Kanu back to face trial. Kanu has since won billions of Naira in damages including a court judgment for his release. Meanwhile, the federal government is running around looking for endless adjournments

This is why Nigeria is a mess, and set to be s bigger mess under Tinubu, people who want choose when where to practice rule of law

People who expect the right outcome by doing the wrong things

Nigeria is a waste of time and we should all agree to its peaceful disintegration so we can go our seperate ways and stop giving each headache since 1960

He says that Kanu flouted his bail conditions but it is only the court that gave Kanu bail, that had the right ti decide what was flouted or not, then revoke the bail
