Those Calling For CBN Governor Sack are Palm Wine Drinkers - Oshiomhole

  

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the Governor of Edo State  condemn those calling for the sack of the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emiefiele,as those that want to sabotage the country economy and are mere drunkards.
Oshiomhole disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the executive secretary of National Universities Commission.


He said the CBN has ended the nefarious career of those benefiting from an illegal capital market and other anti-growth rackets. 

“The truth of the matter is that we have a new Federal Government that has won election on the basis of a mantra of change and there are all kinds of people who have made money from this economy without contributing anything; people who make money by just playing on the exchange rates and commercial papers. It is these specula­tors that want the CBN Governor to be sacked.

The governor further stated that the CBN under the current dispensation has blocked many drain pipes in the economy, by safe guarding the naira from decline. He noted that were it not for the quick interventions of the nation’s apex bank, the economy would have run into troubled wa­ters with the naira getting badly hurt and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the calls.

“The CBN governor has been firm in saying that we can­not open up the doors to all kinds of import of toothpicks, tomato paste and all sorts of things. You remember the pub­lication where about 41 items were denied access to official forex? Now, these people, who have been feeding fat on our common patrimony, manipulating the exchange rate, mov­ing monies across boundaries by pressing buttons and tak­ing advantage of electronic wire transfers; these speculators are the once behind this campaign.
