2023: CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele moves to succeed Okowa as Delta State Govenror
Barring any last minute change of mind, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, would contest the is governorship election in his home state, Delta, by 2023.
According to SaharaReporters, Emefiele, whose tenure as CBN governor was fraught with several infractions, unpopular policies and freezing of accounts of peaceful protesters, is considering vying for governorship so as to get immunity from probes after leaving office as CBN governor.
The paper quoted sources saying that at the centre of the CBN governor’s ambition plot is the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, who had promised to give him support, having being a “good boy” to the government as the head of the CBN.
“Emefiele is working on his Delta State governorship ambition and encouraged by Malami whom he sells dollars to.
“Malami has told him he will need some immunity after leaving office and has to strive to win the election. So he is supporting Emefiele’s ambition and the CBN governor is also doing Malami’s bidding. You can recall his role during the #EndSARS activities.” a top source explained.
