Omoyele Sowore, the 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has expressed support for the suspension of Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved Emefiele’s suspension, citing the need for an investigation and reforms within the apex bank.

The news of Emefiele’s suspension was confirmed by the Director of Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Willie Bassey.

As a result of the suspension, Emefiele has been instructed to hand over the affairs of the CBN to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will serve as the acting Governor during the investigation and reform process.

However, it has been reported that the Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested the former CBN Governor on charges of sabotage and conspiracy related to the naira swap policy, which is believed to undermine the nation’s democracy.

In response to the alleged arrest, Sowore took to Twitter to voice his opinion.

He called for the arrest and prosecution of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Lucky Irabor and Emefiele himself.

Sowore also emphasized that President Muhammadu Buhari should be arrested and held accountable for his actions.

He wrote: “DSS reportedly picks up / detains former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele. In an ideal society, his main accomplice in the military, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor should be arrested and tried with Emefiele. Of course not leaving out former President @MBuhari as well.”
