The politician said the case was initiated just over two months to the general elections, after the CBN introduced tough guidelines on the cashless regime and redesigned the naira
Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki says the move to remove Godwin Emefiele as Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor is related to the 2023 election.
The ex-Kwara Governor warned security agencies not to allow themselves to be used to scuttle the presidential poll.
The Department of State Services (DSS) accused Emefiele of terrorism financing and economic crimes, a situation that dents the image of the apex bank amid fears of further naira fall.
In a statement on Wednesday, Saraki said as a victim of a similar “politically-motivated accusation”, he noticed some clouds around the DSS court action.
The politician said the case was initiated just over two months to the general elections, after the CBN introduced tough guidelines on the cashless regime and redesigned the naira.
