Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has been accused of running the apex bank like an “Automated Teller Machine of the Cabal, a canteen and cash cow.”
Senator Shehu Sani levelled the allegation against the former apex bank chief and urged the Federal Government to probe the CBN and Emefiele independently.
He commended President Bola Tinubu for Emefiele’s suspension and the appointment of a replacement immediately.
Sani wrote:
“The eviction of Emefiele is commendable. The appointment of Shonubi as acting governor is commendable. But the house cleaning of the CBN can only be done by engaging a team of auditors from outside of the CBN.
“Only they can professionally and thoroughly probe the apex bank and tell the country how the bank was run under Buhari’s Emefiele.
“The CBN was operated as an ATM of the Cabal, a canteen, and cash cow of the parasitic elites of the past administration”.
Emefiele is currently in the custody of the Department of State Security.
A trending video on social media showed the moment he was ushered into a waiting jet at the Lagos Airport in preparation for departure to Abuja.
