Bello Matawalle The Executive Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle has condemned the decision of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele to proceed on a study leave when he still has about 10 months to lead tye bank.
Governor Matawalle claimed that Emefiele who supervised Nigerian financial and monetary system will need to give report of how he managed tye country's economy to tye incoming President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He said Emefiele's proposed study leave is a bid to run away from giving account of how he managed the country's economy during his tenure. Governor Matawalle therefore appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to defer Emefiele's request for study leave.
Gov. Bello Matawalle in an appeal to President Buhari said in parts:
“CBN Governor Emefiele superintended over the management of the country's financial and monetary systems. He is the one who initiated and implemented the recent disastrous Naira swap policy, the Naira confiscation program, which put Nigerians through untold woes and trauma and set our economy backwards.
"Two of my brother-governors and I took the Federal Government to court over this ill-advised policy and fought resolutely until we got a respite for our people from Emefiele and company.
"This same Emefiele now wants to proceed on study leave when he has some 10 months left of his tenure apparently in a bid to evade rendering accounts. This is unacceptable.
"President Buhari should not countenance this. Emefiele must stay at his job to give full accounts of all that transpired under his watch to the incoming administration. He must answer all the questions the new regime may have for him particularly when he still has some months left of his tenure”
