Nigeria’s Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has finally opened up on his alleged political ambition and interest in contesting the 2023 presidential election.
It has been earlier reported that Emefiele had joined the race and that some people had bought the nomination form for him.
This prompted the Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to call for his resignation being a government official.
Also, earl Friday, a video that surfaced on Twitter showed some gunmen supporting the candidacy of Emefiele as Nigeria’s president.
But on Saturday afternoon, the CBN governor said he would let Nigerians know his decision on whether to contest or not in a few days time.
According to him, the decision to be Nigeria’s next president is “a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention,” adding “in the next few days The Almighty will so direct. ”
He also said that he would use his hard-earned money to buy his nomination form if he decides to contest the position of the president.
