News on Emefiele plotting against Tinubu fake, says CBN
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked news that its Governor, Godwin Emefiele, is plotting against President-elect, Bola Tinubu, by supporting Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
In a statement by its Ag. Director, Corporate Communications, Isa AbdulMumin, the CBN described the news as false and malicious.
“We wish to inform members of the public that this story is completely false and malicious as the CBN Governor does not know and has never met or even spoken with Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, either in person or through a proxy.
“We wish to reiterate that the CBN Governor does not take part in politics and therefore urge anyone with contrary information to prove the Governor wrong by providing any facts.
“As such, the Governor and his team at the CBN should be allowed to focus on their assigned job with a view to achieving the statutory mandate of the Bank,” the statement read.
