The youth wing of the largest Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has requested that Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele quit immediately.
According to sources, the development is related to the APC’s N100 million presidential form.
Within a week, Emefiele was named as one of the people who had purchased the form. However, the CBN chief stated on Saturday that the form was acquired by farmers and nationalists.
However, in a statement issued on Sunday, OYC President-General Mazi Okwu Nnabuike stated that Emefiele’s promises cannot deceive Igbo youths.

“When was the last time the Governor of a country’s central bank was involved in party politics?”
“This is nonsense taken to an extreme. We’ve even seen the CBN Governor’s unsuccessful attempts to persuade naive members of society that the form was not purchased by him.
“We have to remark that his defence is dead on arrival; pounding the air. What about the hundreds of branded automobiles that have been making the rounds on social media? Could his so-called father Christmas farmers and patriots have bought him an APC form if he wasn’t a party member?” Okwu had inquired.
He claimed the CBN boss has no choice but to quit honourably or face being forced out of office.
“We can’t afford to keep an APC member as Governor of the CBN.” We now know why the economy has been crashing for the past seven years.

“We can’t have a CBN Governor on board who is using our collective wealth to fund the APC, which is why we’ve given Emefiele 30 days to quit or face being revealed.” We know how he has been romancing APC politicians. Nigerians will learn more about him if he does not quit,” Okwu promised.
