… WARNS AGAINST CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY
The grassroots mobilisation group for the 2023, presidental ambition of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Godwin Emefiele, the Emefiele Solidarity Vanguard, on Monday, said the CBN Governor will win the 2023 Presidental elections if he declares his interest to run.
The group, under the platform of Pro-All Progressives Congress for Emefiele presidency 2023; stressed the CBN Governor will replace President Muhammadu Buhari if he eventually declares his intention to run in the forthcoming election.
Leader of the group, Daniel Enyi, in a media briefing on Monday in Abuja, denied the media reports linking the CBN Governor and hundreds of Sharan branded campaign buses parked in an isolated location.
Enyi said that Emefiele
has nothing to do with the buses.
“We are confident that, if he makes up his mind to contest, he will declare in the open, because seeking political office can not be done in a closed door, especially the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The images being circulated on the social media have nothing to do with the CBN Governor directly. The blackmail is an attempt to box Emefiele to the corner. It is an outright blackmail against his person to link the agitation directly to him.
“It is a norm that whenever he accepts to contest, it would be made public, he will answer the clarion call in the open. As Nigerians, the truth is, nobody can stop us from expressing our opinion on whom we feel should govern the country after 2023.
“There is no doubt that Nigerians from all quarters, the North, the South, East and West are calling on the CBN Governor to run as President in the 2023.
“We are convinced that, if he does, he will win, this is the threat where some do or die political office seekers are trying to blackmail him”. He said.
Enyi asked anyone with proof of the CBN Governor’s declaration or where he was lobbying the President for the nation’s number one position or any other office to show up with such evidence before the public.
According to him, the CBN Governor, has not accepted the offer to run for the 2023 presidency despite the massive support by Nigerians for him to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The group urged those purportedly sharing or circulating the pictures of the branded buses to join them to persuade the CBN Governor to accept the offer from Nigerians to run for the presidency in 2023, instead of blackmailing the man with the branded campaign buses that have nothing to do with him.
“Remember, this is a man who was appointed by the PDP administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and was reappointed by President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term based on his dedicated service to the Nation.
“We wish to make bold that, the 2023 Presidential elections is far beyond an individual as Nigeria belong to all of us.
“We firmly believed that, the economy needs a seasoned technocrat, an economist of all standard who understands monetary policy, diversification of economy as well, a patriotic Nigerian who shall improve on the security situation and consolidate the gains of the Buhari ‘s administration. This we have found in Dr. Godwin Emefiele.
“Nigeria needs a President who thinks beyond 2023, a man or woman who understands the economic situation of the Country and is poised to improve on it.”Daniel Enyi, explained.
