Peter Obi and Atiku should go and fight to the last for Emefiele. They were the ones who publicly showed their for him thinking his unwise policies will favour them to win the presidential election. Despite the sufferings of the people, these two didn't care except their selfish gain.

The guy profile is intimidating.
Politics aside, he's more than qualified for the job.

Emefiele acted under instructions from his boss.

Lol. Even Northernerners are shocked at the apparent tribalism.

Make una wait first before shouting Tribalism, the man is still acting not yet a substantive Governor of the CBN. Besides he is one of the deputy Governor of the CBN.

Ok

Good profile

A breath of fresh air!

He is the next in line to suspended Mr Emefiele. Do you want Mr Emefiele to hand over to the man at the security gate of CBN ni? This is the rule , your next in line steps in until substantive appointee is selected.
