The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele, has no involvement in politics, especially as regards the March 18 governorship election in Lagos State, the bank stated yesterday, in Abuja.
Its acting Director, Corporate Communications, Mr Isa AbdulMumin, made the declaration in reaction to a newspaper report, titled: “Emefiele launches fresh plot against President-elect, Tinubu’’.
According to the newspaper report, Emefiele gave money to a certain candidate in the Lagos State governorship election to spite the president-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu.
However, AbdulMumin said the story is completely false and malicious as Emefiele has never met nor spoken to the said governorship candidate.
He urged politicians to allow the CBN and its management to concentrate on the statutory mandate of the bank.
