Emefiele ran CBN like cabal’s ATM, canteen — Shehu Sani
Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has urged the Federal Government to conduct an independent probe of the Central Bank of Nigeria and its suspended governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Sani, a member of the 8th Senate, in a statement on Twitter on Saturday, while reacting to Emefiele’s suspension by President Bola Tinubu, said the embattled ex-CBN governor ran the apex bank as an “Automated Teller Machine of the Cabal, a canteen and cash cow.”
In his reaction, the lawmaker commended Tinubu for Emefiele’s suspension and Shonubi’s appointment.
The statement read, “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”.
