BREAKING: Emefiele to reject N100 Million APC form? Speaks on 2023 Presidential Ambition

Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), says he has not decided to run for president.

On Friday, some groups purchased the presidential nomination form of the APC for the CBN governor, asking him to join the 2023 presidential race.

But on Saturday, Emefiele said he has not taken the decision to run for president in 2023.

Since the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) picked expression and nomination papers on his behalf on Friday, the governor of the top bank has been under severe pressure.

Emefiele thanked people who bought the forms for him in a series of tweets on Saturday, stating that if he decides to run, he will utilize his own resources.

He went on to say that he would make a decision in the coming days.

“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision. I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely.

“However, Should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard-earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms, without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“And should I not run for elected office, I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.” CONTINUE READING…
