Emefiele Rejects APC Nomination Forms, Says Pressure To Run Heavy

Mr Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has rejected the presidential nomination and expression of interest forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) procured for him by the Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria.

The CBN governor who has been under pressure to enter the 2023 presidential race in rejecting the forms said that should he decide to enter the fray that he would use his personal resources gearnered over the years in banking to so do.

He also said that the next few days would determine whether he would enter the fray.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the CBN governor has been under pressure from several groups to enter the fray to give credibility and sustenance of the economic agenda of the outgoing Buhari administration.

Rejecting the forms, Emefiele said:

“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision.

“I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely.

“However, Should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own  Nomination Forms, without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“And should I not run for elected office, I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct’.
