A spokesperson for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode, has called for the removal and arrest of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Fani-Kayode, in a tweet on his official handle on Friday, said Emefiele wants to scuttle the election by causing chaos via the currency crisis.
The tweet reads: “Let me make this clear. Emefiele has NO intention of releasing new naira notes until March.
“He wants people to suffer, he wants chaos & he wants to scuttle the election.
“He is a dangerous pawn in the hands of sinister anti-democratic forces.
“Remove, arrest & detain him NOW!”
Meanwhile, there are insinuations at the camp of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, that the apex bank’s move was targeted at frustrating the party during the forthcoming elections.
However, the CBN governor had debunked the allegations several times, stressing that the move had no political motives.
