The leadership of the Labour Party has faulted the suspension of the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emeifele, by President Bola Tinubu.
Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, said this in Abuja on Saturday, June 10.
He said most Nigerians are already aware of the intention of the government.
According to him, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, should be investigated, not CBN.
He said: “This is the institution that is responsible for the mockery of our democracy.
“This is an institution that asked and received N355 billion in taxpayers’ money to conduct the worst-ever election in the history of Nigeria and in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“This is an election umpire that has shamelessly chosen to be partisan during and after the election, even at the tribunal.
“We urge the APC-led government to conduct a thorough investigation of the CBN and, particularly, the last APC government’s interference in the operation of the apex bank.’’
