GOVERNOR of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele on Friday, May 6, 2022 picked the N100 million Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 Presidential elections.
SOJ WORLDWIDE gathered that Emefiele picked the N100 million forms from the party’s Organising Secretary at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja, on Friday morning.
This puts to rest the speculations on his interest in succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari.
In 2014, former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Emefiele, hours after suspending his predecessor, Sanusi Lamido.
In 2019, the former Managing Director of Zenith Bank made history as the first CBN governor to be reappointed.
President Muhammadu Buhari had renewed his five-year tenure.
In February when a ‘group of his friends’, tagged ‘Friends of Godwin Emefiele’, visited him to discuss the controversy over his presidential ambition in 2023, Emefiele had said it was in the hands of God.
“Given that it’s God that anoints leaders, he will leave his faith (sic) firmly in the hands of God,” he was quoted to have said.
Emefiele is now up against Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Mohammed Badaru (Jigawa) and at least five ministers for the APC presidential ticket.
