Economy: PDP Reiterates Emefiele’s Sack As CBN Governor, Claims APC Is Shielding Him

By Akinwale Kasali

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has again  demanded for the immediate sack of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, over the State of the Economy.

The Nigeria has depreciated to N580 to a Dollar.

The party accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, of being corruptly minded, shielding anf retaining Emefiele despite the state of the Naira to the Dollar.

A statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, titled; ‘PDP to APC: You Have Admitted to Wrecking the Naira’, in Abuja, on Sunday, PDP said the President Buhari administration is sabotaging the economy and making life difficult for Nigerians by retaining Emefiele who they claim have successfully supervised the looting of the treasury of the country.

The statement reads in  parts:“Our party insists that by the comments of the APC National Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, the APC deliberately kept a CBN Governor that supposedly supervised the ‘sharing and looting’ of monies in office to enable APC leaders to pillage the CBN.

“We call on the APC and the Buhari Presidency to come clean on their activities in the CBN that have brought the value of our naira to her knees and stop the horrible resort by the APC to blackmail those who are demanding transparency and accountability in the nation’s fiscal sector.”

This is the second time the PDP has called for Emefiele’s sack within a few days.
