The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has stated that he will use his ‘hard earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership’ to purchase the presidential nomination form if he decided to run for 2023 presidential race.
Speaking through his social media and responding to reports of the form purchase, Mr Emefiele revealed that he will go through open and transparent manner without any proxies if he decides to run any election.
He thanked the sacrifices of farmers and patriots who raised their personal funds to purchase his nomination form under the aegis of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision. I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely.
However, Should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms, without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
And should I not run for elected office, I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.”
Recall that on Friday, Mr Godwin Emefiele reportedly purchased the N100 million Presidential Nomination form without resigning from his duties as the CBN governor.
He also rolled out customised cars for his campaign.
