Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan appointed Emefiele, who was the managing director of Zenith Bank, as the CBN governor in 2014.
Former president, Muhammadu Buhari, kept the faith in the controversial banker.
Reacting to Emefiele’s ordeal via a tweet on Saturday, December 23, Omokri wrote:
“My views on Emefiele’s performance as CBN Governor have been a matter of record even when many now opining on the matter of his performance on the job were mute. He is without debate the WORST and most damaging central bank governor in Nigeria’s history- incompetent and ill-prepared for the role, and from all available information from his actions, doubtlessly severely integrity-challenged.”
