Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist has cautioned
President Bola Tinubu against incarcerating the arrested former Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Godwin Emefiele without defence.
Omokri said Tinubu should allow Emefiele defend himself of
any allegation raised against him.
He charged Tinubu not to repeat the mistake of former
President Muhammadu Buhari by arresting officials of the previous
administration without allowing them to defend themselves.
Tweeting, Omokri wrote: “Where is Godwin Emefiele? The Tinubu administration should not lock him up and begin to make public allegations against him. This is precisely what Buhari did to Jonathan administration officials as soon as he took over in 2015.
“They were locked up, and while incarcerated, allegations
were made to turn the public against them, without giving them an opportunity
to defend themselves.
“We had hoped those dark days were behind us. Question
Emefiele and even accuse him, but let him have the chance to defend himself
against these rumours and innuendo.
“Where is he? Under what legal order is he being held? Let
Nigerians hear from him. Having begun so well, President Tinubu should not
continue the draconian practices as his immediate predecessor. This is similar
to what Abacha did, which drove even Tinubu to exile in 1994.”
