Moreover, the CBN boss who spoke with some concerned persons known as 'Friends of Emefiele' was quoted to have said he has left the matter in God's hands.
On their part, these supposed friends of Emefiele noted that it is in the place of President Muhammadu Buhari to plan his succession in a democratically accepted way that will make for the peace and development of Nigeria.
They explained in a signed statement seen by The Cable:
“Mr. Emefiele told us that he believes it’s the prerogative of President Muhammadu Buhari to plan his succession in line with global best practices for good governance for the continuing peace and progress of the federal republic of Nigeria. As such, he will play his part to stabilise the economy for an orderly transition.
“And given that it’s God that anoints leaders, he will leave his faith (sic) firmly in the hands of God.”
House of Reps move to arrest Emefiele thwarted
In another report, Emefiele escaped being arrested by Joint Committee on Customs and & Excise, Banking and Currency on Tuesday, February 22, over his refusal to appear before it.
The House members clashed when the chairman of the Committee on Customs and Excise, Leke Abejide, had asked that a warrant of arrest be issued on the CBN governor for not answering summons by the Joint Committee.
On January 27, 2022, the House had asked the CBN helmsman to stop the e-evaluation and invoicing policy recently introduced in the import and export lines. It warned that the policy will make Customs lose revenue.
