Director, Information, in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Willie Bassey, disclosed this in a statement issued Friday night in Abuja.
He said the decision was “sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy”.
“Mr Emefiele has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will act as the Central Bank Governor pending the conclusion of investigation and the reforms”, the statement added.
With Emefiele’s suspension, it is expected that his arrest by the Directorate of State Services (DSS) is imminent on account of a gamut of allegations bordering of money laundering, terrorism financing and sundry offences being levied against him by the secret police for some time now.
Emefiele’s sins are,indeed, legion.
Unconfirmed social media reports had gone viral on how the CBN Governor had recently launched a fresh plot against the president-elect, by attempting to sponsor a govership candidate of the Labour Party in the build-up to the March 13, 2023 gubernatorial election, Mr Rhodes Vivour, with a view to snatching the traditional home state of Tinubu from him./SHARE THIS
