The embattled Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele on Thursday met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja behind closed doors.
Emefiele who refused to make official statement on his visit to the President however told State House Correspondents who approached him that he has no news for them but there will be news very soon.
Said he: “There is no news now, but there will be news”.
Probed further on his unannounced visit to the Presidential Villa, the CBN boss retorted: “You heard me, I said there is no news but there will be news”.
Reminded that Nigerians and the international community are anxious about his position, Emefiele countered that they should worry themselves for nothing as he is having fun.
“Let them have heart attack, it’s good to have heart attack. I am having a lot of fun”, the Governor of Nigeria’s apex bank said.
Although no official statement has been issued on why the CBN Governor visited the seat of power, it may not be unconnected with his recent involvement in politicking which saw his name being mentioned among the Presidential aspirants in the forthcoming All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.
Also, President Buhari has since asked cabinet ministers who have Presidential ambitions to quit their positions while a circular from the Federal Government has told civil servants including Emefiele who have political ambitions to resign from their posts.
