The All Progressives Congress (APC) says the call by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the resignation of Godwin Emefiele, governor
of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), is “delusion”.
The opposition party had called for the resignation of
Emefiele over the depreciation of the naira.
“It is instructive to note that when Emefiele took office as
CBN Governor in 2014 the naira exchanged for N164 to a dollar,” the PDP had
said.
“Today, in the hands of Emefiele and the APC, the naira has
tumbled to near N600 to a dollar, putting the nation’s economy on its knees.”
In a statement on Friday, John Akpanudoedehe, national
secretary of the APC caretaker committee, said the allegations that the CBN
governor did not handle the country’s economy are phantom.
Akpanudoedehe described the PDP as a failed opposition party
which has lost its electoral value.
“Our attention has been drawn to the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) delusional call for the resignation of Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor of
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over phantom allegations,” he said.
“As a failed opposition party, PDP’s current delusions are
apparently a result of its leadership crisis, lost electoral value and general
failure in the eyes of Nigerians.
“Nigerians are still waiting for PDP’s honest apology to
Nigerians for its mindless pillage of our national resources, abuse of public
institutions and the diversion of procured loans to fund its political
activities and line the pockets of its cronies and family members.”
