The African Centre for Justice and Human Rights (ACJHR) on Wednesday described the call for the resignation of Dr. Godwin Emefiele as the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor as baseless.

Those who wanted Emefiele’s to resign had hinged their call on the increasing pressure from Nigerians on him to contest the 2023 presidential election.

They claimed that the pressure was distracting him.

But in a statement by its coordinator, Nduka Chinomso, the ACJHR said the call for Emefiele’s resignation only confirmed that he has the capacity to sustain the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The statement read, “The ACJHR views the call for the sack of the CBN governor based on pressure on him to contest as a baseless one.

“We are convinced that the selfish and desperate call is a sign of acceptance of the fact that Dr. Emefiele has the required capacity to sustain President Buhari’s legacies if elected in 2023.

“We are therefore notifying members of the public that corrupt politicians who are scared that Emefiele’s emergence as President may spoil business for them are the ones behind the self-serving call and they should be ignored.”
