The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has dismissed as fake news reports that he is involved in a fresh plot against President-elect, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The news story, which was published in the March 13 edition of The Nation newspaper, alleged that Emefiele had made a certain amount of money available to a candidate ahead of the March 18 gubernatorial poll.

In a statement signed by the Acting Director Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Isa Abdulmumin, Emefiele denied the allegation, saying he does not know and has never met or spoken with Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, either in person or through a proxy.

He added that he does not take part in politics and urged anyone with contrary information to provide any facts.

”The attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been drawn to a story published in The Nation newspaper of Monday, March 13, 2023 edition, alleging that the Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele has launched a “fresh plot against President-elect,” the statement reads. 

“The aforementioned story went further to allege that the Governor has made a certain amount of money available to a candidate ahead of the March 18, 2023, gubernatorial poll. 

“We wish to inform members of the public that this story is completely false and malicious as the CBN Governor does not know and has never met or even spoken with Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, either in person or through a proxy. 

“We wish to reiterate that the CBN Governor does not take part in politics and therefore urge anyone with contrary information to prove the Governor wrong by providing any facts.

“As such, the Governor and his team at the CBN should be allowed to focus on their assigned job with a view to achieving the statutory mandate of the Bank.”
