Akande's view on Emefiele's suspension caused a lot of mixed reactions on social media on Saturday, June 10.
Meanwhile, public affairs analyst Dayo Akintobi thinks Akande's view on the suspension of Emefiele was spot on.
In an opinion piece obtained by Legit.ng, Akintobi noted that it takes a lot of nerve and courage to speak against someone who served in the same administration as the CBN Governor.
He said:
"This is highly commendable, considering that he is a former aide to Vice President Osinbajo.
"It is noteworthy that when Osinbajo was Acting President, there were rumours about him planning to suspend the CBN Governor then, but Emefiele effectively warded off a fall from grace at that time by toeing Osinbajo's line, who had made clear what he wanted done, and was firm in his resolve that the CBN implement his recommendations, which did, in fact, give rise to economic growth at the time."
He noted that Akande's tweet was a replication of one who understands the tenets of integrity and accountability in public office.
Akintobi said Akande's tweet was a bold statement against corrupt practices and that the country needed more people like him.
