The opposition Peoples Democratic Party has demanded the immediate resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele for poor handling of the nation’s monetary and fiscal policies. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan made the call during a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja. Ologbondiyan noted that when Emefiele took office as CBN Governor in 2014 that the naira exchanged for N164 to a dollar but that naira is now having a free fall to other currencies. Emefiele assumed office as the 10th indigenous Governor of CBN with a promise to focus on building resilient financial system that will serve the growth and development needs of the Nigeria economy but whether that has been achieved is open for debate.
