CBN Gov Emefiele Addresses Purchase Of Presidential Nomination Form By Support Groups
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has officially reacted to issues around the purchase of Presidential Nomination form for him by support groups, who believe he has all the qualities required to vie for the position of the president of Nigeria.
The express of interest and nomination forms were reportedly picked on Thursday, May 5, 2022.
Mr Emefiele, who insisted if he wished to seek presidential nomination of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) he will do so with his hard earned savings from his over 35 years of banking work, addressed the development via his twitter handle.
His series of tweets of Saturday, May 7, 2022 read…
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.
