We wish Mr. Emefiele well in his new found but ill-fated political vocation but we demand that he must be brought to account for the activities that he undertook, supervised and superintended over the years that he has been at the helm of affairs at the CBN and for which our economy is in comatose.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The PDP calls on all Nigerians; the Civil Society, Students, Organized Labour, the Media and all lovers of good governance to rise up as the PDP takes drastic actions in leading the charge to defend the integrity of the CBN, Rule of Law and ensure that those who brought our economy to its knees face the wrath of the law.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">According to the PDP spokesperson, &#8220;You will recall that on March 25, 2022, our Party alerted the nation when we got intelligence that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele was being promoted by the Presidency as Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;At that time, we drew the attention of Nigerians to the provisions of the CBN Act 2007 and particularly referenced Section 9 which provides that \u201cthe Governor and the Deputy Governors shall devote the whole of their time to the service of the bank and while holding office, shall not engage in any full or part-time employment or vocation, whether remunerated or not\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This provision is clear in demanding that 100 percent of the time and expertise of the CBN Governor and Deputy Governors shall be dedicated to the service of the CBN. This is because the CBN is critical to the integrity and stability of our economy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Furthermore, Section 030422 of the Public Service Rule states that no public officer shall (a) \u201chold any office, paid or unpaid, permanent or temporary, in any political organization\u201d, (b) offer himself\/herself or nominate anyone else as a candidate for any elective public office\u2026\u201d, (c) \u201cindicate publicly his support of or opposition to any party, candidate or policy and (d) \u201cengage in canvassing in support of political candidates\u201d unless such officer resigns his appointment.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Importantly, Section 030502 (g) of the Rule lists \u201cengaging in partisan political activities&#8217; as SERIOUS ACT OF MISCONDUCT.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Emefiele\u2019s involvement in politics without resigning as CBN Governor therefore amounts to gross misconduct in contravention of Section 11 2 (2)(c) of the CBN Act.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Now that Mr. Emefiele has joined politics and reportedly obtained the N100 million Presidential aspirant form from the APC, he cannot continue to resume at the CBN which is the commonwealth of our nation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;By this Mr. Emefiele has become a clear and present danger to the health, integrity and reputation of the CBN and our nation\u2019s financial sector. His continued stay as CBN Governor will further destroy investors\u2019 confidence in the integrity of our nation\u2019s financial regulatory Institution.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Mr. Emefiele\u2019s involvement in partisan politics while still holding office as CBN Governor underpins the impunity, lawlessness and recklessness of the Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration. It further confirms that the CBN under Emefiele has all along been the finance department of the APC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;It is now evident that the summersault of the economy under Mr. Emefiele as CBN Governor has been influenced by a personal partisan interest for which the CBN under his watch allegedly allowed multiple leakages in our financial regulations through discriminatory exchange rate policies and nebulous subsidies to funnel billons of naira to political lackies to fund a presidential ambition.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This also explains why under Emefiele, the CBN which is supposed to be the bankers\u2019 bank continues to engage in fraudulent retail banking services under ill-defined economic intervention programmes to plunder the treasury.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The tsunamic macro-economic and fiscal policies of the CBN under Emefiele brought untold hardship to the productive and service sectors of our nation\u2019s economy with consequential negative effect on the lives of our citizens.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;It is provocative that instead of being remorseful, Mr. Emefiele is even insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians by seeking the office of the President while still holding office as CBN Governor.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The PDP points to reports in the public space of how Emefiele\u2019s agents through corrupt practices, including manipulation of exchange rate, allegedly amassed sum close to $1 billion dollar which is already being deployed by the purchase of hundreds of Emefiele branded campaign vehicles in the colours of the APC in furtherance of a lavish Presidential campaign.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The direct consequences of such atrocious regime in the CBN under Emefiele is the collapse of our naira from N197 to N600 to a dollar, the crippling of our productive sector, multiple economic recession, increased poverty, inflation and unemployment rates, high costs of living and excruciating hardship to our citizens.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;It is indeed saddening that President Muhammadu Buhari, who promised zero tolerance for corruption will enable, encourage and condone such atrocious regime in the CBN where our economy is opened to fraudulent pillaging to promote a political ambition.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; demands his arrest, prosecution for alleged abuse of office The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has\u00a0demanded the immediate arrest, investigation and prosecution of\u00a0Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":93795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
