Fani-Kayode's tweet reads:

"Emefiele does not have the balls to do what he is doing on his own. He is wearing someone else's balls to do it.
"He is nothing but a pawn, poddle & pimp. The sadists that are using him whose balls he is wearing are the greater evil & we WILL blow them apart & rock their world."

Netizens react to Fani-Kayode's rant

Some Nigerians took to the comment section to lambast Fani-Kayode for attacking the CBN governor.

@LivinTroller said:

"Sorry me Femi but Emefiele is doing what is right and I’ll list you 3 good reasons. The only fault he has is the time frame.

Emmanuel Chijioke said:

"Sir, kindly mention the names of those people backing the CBN Governor. Nigerians need to know who they are. As a brave man, do us that favour sir."

@MaaziEzeoke:

"And you do not have the balls to mention those whose ball he is wearing, or is your ball too small to mention the ball Emefiele is wearing?"

Naira scarcity: “Emefiele weaponising CBN,” says Fani-Kayode as he levels other serious allegations

Similarly, Femi Fani-Kayode has strongly condemned the personality of CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele.

Fani-Kayode, who described the CBN governor as an enemy of the state, said Emefiele has no plan of releasing sufficient naira notes anytime soon.

He noted that CBN's new policy is against the people's will, and if Emefiele is not stopped or caged, it might result in more hardship, and the masses will bear the cost.
