Reason I Fired Ex-CBN Governor – Tinubu
By Simeon OSAJIE
President Bola Tinubu has finally revealed the reason why former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele was fired and subsequent arrest by the Department of State Seervices (DSS).
Recall Tinubu had on June 9, 2023 suspended the Ex-CBN governor Mr. Godwin Emefiele to allow for investigation into some allegations leveled against him.
Recall also Emefiele was then arrested in Lagos State and flown to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the Department of State Services where he is being interrogated.
Speaking during an interactive session with Nigerians residing in France and neighbouring countries on Friday, 23rd June, 2023 on the whole issue, President Tinubu said the financial system was rotten under Emefiele.
He revealed that many of those living outside the country were unable to send money to their parents and relatives due to the multiple exchange rates, saying that is gone now.
“Then the financial system was rotten. Few people made bags of money and then you yourself, you stopped sending money home to our poor parents. Several windows. But that is gone now. It’s gone.
“The man is in the hands of the authorities. Something is being done about that. They will sort themselves out,” he said.
