» Arms Probe Deal: Bakare Calls For The Arrest Of CBN Governor, Emefiele «

Fiery preacher and general overseer of The Latter Ran
Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare has released his
state of the nation address tagged ”Roadmap to
successful change”.
Pastor Tunde Bakare is known for consistently contributing
his opinion to topical issues
Bakare, 61, who was the running mate to President
Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential elections
under the banner of the Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC), called for the prosecution of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emiefiele, because of the
role of the apex bank in the widely publicised ongoing
arms probe deal.
Pastor Bakare is a known ally of President Muhammadu
Buhari According to The Cable, Bakare accused the CBN of
contributing negatively to the Nigerian economy, adding
that Emefiele should be booted out of office and
prosecuted.
Is Godwin Emiefiele’s job on the line?
He said: “The government must examine carefully, the
argument of economists, that sound monetary policy
including proper management of the exchange rate regime
by the CBN would eliminate the need for subsidies.
“The intricate connection between monetary policy on the
one hand and the fuel subsidy debate on the other, makes
the management of the CBN a major concern.
“To the discerning, the CBN currently contributes
negatively to the Nigerian state in more ways than one.
Firstly, the CBN has become a conduit for politicians to
drain the nation.
“Otherwise, how can a letter of barely two paragraphs
addressed to the current CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin
Emefiele, by the then National Security Adviser (NSA), Col.
Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) , become the Authority to Incur
Expenditure (AIE) leading to cash flow of $47 million (US
dollars) and several millions of euros? “In decent climes,
the CBN Governor cannot continue in office while the NSA
is accounting for his alleged misdeeds.”
