BREAKING: Emefiele set to dump presidential ambition after close-door meeting with Buhari

The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele may jettison his presidential ambition.

This came following his secret meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja at the Villa.

Emefiele, when accosted by State House correspondents to talk on the outcome of his meeting with the president and the speculation over his alleged resignation, the CBN governor simply said he was having fun.

His words, “I’m having fun at the scenario. Let them have heart attack. It’s good to have heart attack. I am having a lot of fun.’’

However, NAN reliably learnt that Emefiele might have informed the president of his intention to continue in office as CBN governor instead of vying for the All Progressives Congress’ presidential ticket in 2023 general elections.

The source, which preferred not to be named, told NAN that the CBN governor had finally decided to concentrate on his official job of safeguarding and transforming the nation’s economy.
