“Emefiele was given a long rope but he failed to redeem himself” ― Osinbajo’s ex-aide

Laolu Akande, A former spokesperson for the immediate past Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has described the alleged damage the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, perpetrated at the apex bank as colossal, saying that Emefiele was given a long rope to redeem himself but he failed.

Akande also said the suspension and investigation of Emefiele were long overdue and should be supported by all Nigerians who value integrity.

He stated this via his Twitter handle on Saturday, saying that Emefiele’s “shenanigans” were detrimental to Nigerians.

He wrote, “It was about time d CBN Governor faced suspension & investigation. All people of goodwill & those who value integrity, irrespective of political leanings would be thankful for this development.

“Emefiele was given a long rope, but he failed to redeem himself. His shenanigans & the colossal damages he perpetrated at the CBN was to the utter detriment of the Nigerian people. This is not even about cashless policy, but apparent corruption especially in the dual exchange rate policy which never made sense. What a sigh of relief!”
