Bullion Van Politicians After #Emefiele Led #CBN – #Atiku Campaign Reveals—The Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation called for restraint following the onslaught on the Governor of the Central bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that this was disclosed in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesperson to Atiku PCC.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday reportedly declined an application by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest and detain CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele.
They urged for caution noting the sensitivity of the CBN office, saying:
- ” Atiku Campaign has carefully reviewed the onslaught on the Governor of the CBN and calls for restrain, given the sensitivity of his position to the Nation’s economy”
They blamed “politicians who run bullion van operations” as the source.
- ” The backdrop of apprehension that inordinately ambitious politicians run activities with bullion vans and raw cash are out to destroy the nation’s financial institutions, particularly, the CBN, for the selfish political interests”
They also warned those attacking the CBN, not to discredit the institutions, adding:
- ” Our campaign counsel such politicians to rather market their programmes to Nigerians, if they have any, and end their reprehensible hope on vote buying”.
PDP urged that the stability of monetary policy is of paramount importance, including economic growth as well as the well-being of Nigerians.
TGM reported earlier that A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja reportedly declined an application by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest and detain CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele.
The suit, with reference number FHC/Abj/CS/2255/2022, had the Department of State Services as the applicant.
The DSS was trying to arrest Emefiele over allegations bothering on “acts of financing terrorism, fraudulent activities and economic crimes of national security dimension.”
