Emefiele, turns down offer of APC nomination forms

Governor Godwin Emefiele of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has Emefiele expressed gratitude to those that purchased the APC Presidential nomination forms for him, saying if he decides to contest, he would use his personal resources.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, he said he is yet to make up his mind on 2023 Presidency.

Emefiele came under intense pressure to resign since the expression interest and nomination forms of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were purchased on his behalf on Friday.
He added that he would make up his mind in a few days ahead.

“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision. I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely.

“However, Should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard-earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms, without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“And should I not run for elected office, I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.”
