Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against
Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has advised President Muhammadu
Buhari to sack the Governor of Central Bank Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emeifele.
He hinged the advice on his involvement in partisan politics
while still in office as head of the apex bank.
Sagay noted that Emefiele’s desire to contest the 2023
presidency despite his position as CBN governor is abominable and totally
unacceptable.
He however allayed the fears of some Nigerians that
sensitive election materials kept in custody of the CBN by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) will be tampered with.
“I think his position is abominable and totally
unacceptable. He has to resign. In fact, I think he should be sacked by the
president. But I don’t agree that his attitude will affect the security of
election materials”.
“That he wanted to contest or not cannot affect election
materials at all because the system of voting we have now only allows a voter
through if he/she has a voters card and the machine has to capture your
fingerprints and your face. So, there is nothing Emefiele can do with the
election materials which can affect the election”.
“You have to go through the biometric process when you want
to vote. So, I don’t see any reason why people should be worried about election
materials kept in CBN custody” Sagay said.
