The outgoing governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to grant ‘study leave’ to the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, a few days before the inauguration of a new administration.
Mr Matawalle, in a statement seen by PREMIUM TIMES, alleged that the reason Mr Emefiele allegedly sought such study leave was “apparently in a bid to evade rendering accounts.”
“CBN Governor Emefiele superintended over the management of the country’s financial and monetary systems. He is the one who initiated and implemented the recent disastrous Naira swap policy, the Naira confiscation program, which put Nigerians through untold woes and trauma and set our economy backwards.
The Zamfara governor wrote that this same Emefiele now wants to proceed on study leave when he has some 10 months left of his tenure apparently in a bid to evade rendering accounts.
Premium times reports that Neither Mr Emefiele nor the CBN has announced that the former has sought such study leave despite reports in the media.
