CBN's Emefiele loses bid to secure court order to back his presidential ambition

, Godwin Emiefele, from being disqualified to contest for the presidential ticket of any political party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The judge said having read the affidavit in support of the motion, it was more appropriate to direct the defendants to appear in court on May 12, to show cause why Mr Emefiele’s request should not be granted. The lawyer argued in the suit that no law exempted him from contesting the primary election of any political party as a sitting CBN governor.

In February, a PREMIUM TIMES editorial called on Mr Emefiele to resign and pursue his political ambition, if he had any, or publicly distance himself from groups clamouring for him to contest the forthcoming presidential election scheduled to hold on February 25. He said although he had yet to decide to contest the presidential election, should he heed the call to run for the presidency, he would use his “own hard-earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms”.

“We are not asking for an injunction, but due to the urgency of the matter, the applicant needs the protection and canopy of justice to stop the matter from being rendered nuggatory and a fait accompli foisted on the applicant, if the court does not issue an order,” he said.

Exitednpoweryou What a greedy man.He has wounded this country already.Everybody has been made to donate from their hard labour 2 pay for his form by one way or the other This hardship didn't just come unintentional.He is wicked. Everybody is using their jurisdiction to punish us in this country

It's sad that such is happening to us as a nation. What will be wrong if the president monsters the political will to do what is expected and right by sending Emefiele parking. Except there is no president in Nigeria.

Greedy set of people. Trying to eat your cake and having it. If you so love ruling the country, why won't you sacrificially resign your current job.
