The end of 2022 saw the naria being redesigned by the CBN and also certain monetary policies that concern restrictions as to withdrawals, several Nigerians have kicked against such policies, as they believe that it would bring about so much hardship in the daily monetary transactions.
A certain group in the Niger Delta, “Niger Delta Patriots” have stated that’ll resist any attempt by any individual or Group, to sack Godwin Emefiele from his position as the CBN Governor.
Mr. Victor Okwereogu the National convener of the NDP in an emergency meeting in Portharcourt said that those insisting that the CBN Governor be removed from his position are enemies of the country, who do not want to see the country grow and develop.
According to him, corrupt Politicians in the country are the ones resisting the implementation of these policies, as they are against fighting corruption, well this isn’t something unexpected.
He further said that the suggestion that Emefiele be removed came from corrupt Politicians who know the effects of those policies, as it will put a stop to buying votes, and money laundering, and this doesn’t sit well with these politicians.
He further concludes that they are solidly behind Emefiele as he is trying his best to see that Buhari’s major plan, which is to put an end to corrupt practices comes to pass.
“The current resistance is a fight back by corrupt politicians to derail Buhari’s fight against corruption. Frankly speaking, resistance is expected because corruption will always attempt to fight back any time it is under threat.
“So, what we are experiencing now with regards to the monetary policy by the CBN is corruption fighting back with corrupt politicians pulling the strings from behind the curtain.
“The new monetary policy will not allow corrupt practices such as vote buying, money laundering, and the like to thrive, which is the reason behind the sinister move to remove Emefiele.
“Emefiele is promoting the policy of the Buhari led-administration, whose cardinal point is to fight corruption and we are solidly behind him,” the statement read.
