Media Mogul, Dele Momodu on Monday described the Central
Bank of Nigeria, CBN, as the 37th State in Nigeria.
Momodu said this while reacting to a statement by the former
Chairman of Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria and APC Chieftain in Lagos,
Muiz Banire condemning the freezing of bank accounts of End SARS promoters by
CBN.
Banire, who served as commissioner for Transportation under
former governor Bola Tinubu, in a Twitter thread, said CBN had no powers to
investigate crime, describing its action as ‘abominable and reckless’.
According to him, such powers vested on the apex bank is unconstitutional and questionable.
Momodu, reacting, lamented how the apex bank has allowed
itself to be dragged into the ‘Gutters of Nigerian politics”.
His post read: “The Central Bank of Nigeria has been
unfortunately dragged into the gutters of Nigerian politics.
“Seems we now have
the 37th Governor managing the 37th State in our long-suffering nation without
being elected.”
Recall that CBN recently obtained a court order to freeze 20
accounts linked to promoters of the End SARS movement.
This stirred reactions and generated backlash from well
meaning Nigerians.

The judge who granted the order should be sacked. The judge abused the court process and failed to interpret the law and constitution correctly. That judge should not preside over any court ever again.
