The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has ambiguously reacted to his much promoted presidential aspiration hours after a group purchased the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination forms for him.

In a series of tweets, with no clear direction, on his official handle on Saturday, the apex bank boss thanked those who raised money for the purchase of the nomination forms.

He however said he would buy the form with his money if he is seeking the post.

“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision.

“I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely,” he wrote.

“However, should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard-earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“And should I not run for elected office I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“This is a serious decision that requires God’s divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.”

The CBN Governor has been under attacks from many quarters, including political parties, politicians, and the civil society groups, for meddling into politics while still in office.

The latest was a call for the resignation of Mr. Godwin Emefiele as CBN Governor by former President of the Nigerian Bar Association and Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu who spoke Friday night.
