A pressure group, The Nigeria Integrity Project has called for probe into the allegation of complicity in terrorism levelled against the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele.
National coordinator of the group Zakari Hashim made the call in a statement he issued to our correspondent yesterday in Gombe.
He opined that investigating top public officers and politicians accused of aiding terrorists will go a long way in fighting their menace in the country.
“While we consider the courage of the Nigeria secret police for exhibiting high level patriotism and professionalism in unraveling such treasonable act from someone entrusted with the nation’s holy patrimony, it is also a thing of national importance to call for rigorous investigation on the matter to enable us uncover the cartel behind terrorism in the country.
“For us in the Civil Society, we are not surprised that Mr Godwin Emefiele who doubles as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria is indicted in such heinous crime or caught in the middle of the act, because his inhuman policies towards the middle class and the downtrodden has exposed him long before now.
“Only an accomplice of terrorism will make unavailable form A for foreign students who are at the threshold of kick-starting their studies.
“There is no gainsaying that Emefiele has met Naira stronger but doing everything possible to make it weaker by granting forex at a cheaper rate to certain cartel, who in turn sell it at exorbitant rate.
“The recent restriction policy on the limit of withdrawal an individual can make per day/week has totally exposed who the CBN governor is and what he stands for. Only unenlightened person will still remain in doubt after series of these unholy actions and inactions by the man call Godwin Emefiele”. He said in the statement.
