Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, on Wednesday,
stated that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele,
is not fit to head the apex bank.
According to Akeredolu, the CBN governor ought to have been
booted from office when he showed interest in contesting for the presidential
ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The governor added that with the failed bid of Emefiele to
contest the primary, he would ensure that he disrupts the 2023 polls.
Akeredolu spoke while receiving members of the Youth
Directorate of the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, of the APC led by Seyi
Tinubu, disclosed that the rating of the APC has drastically dropped with the
naira and fuel shortages in the country.
He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct Emefiele
to reverse the naira redesign policy now, adding that the new and old notes
should be allowed to co-exist.
Akeredolu noted that despite an existing court injunction,
the old notes seem to have ceased to be legal tender in the country.
“We have a problem we are facing in this country today. Our
rating as a party is not that favourable. Let’s not deceive ourselves. Must it
be now that we will have this financial policy?
“Okada, taxis, banks are not taking old notes again. There
is an injunction, and everyone is behaving like there is no injunction.”
On his part, Seyi Tinubu, son of the APC presidential
candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, appreciated Akeredolu for his commitment to youth
development and inclusion in the state.
