With a presidential directive for appointees with political ambitions in 2023 to resign by Monday, Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday visited President Muhammadu Buhari, after which he declared that “there will be news”.

Emefiele’s visit to Aso Rock Villa came a day after Buhari ordered his appointees to quit their jobs if they are interested in contesting for elective positions in next year’s general elections.

The CBN Governor had even before then reportedly gone to court to challenge the public service rule that requires public office holders to resign their positions before contesting for elective positions.

As he emerged from the meeting with the President, the CBN boss was asked by journalists to react to the story that the President had directed him to resign forthwith.

He replied: “There is no news now, but there will be news. You heard me, I said there is no news but there will be news”.

When reminded that given the office he holds, his ambition is creating anxiety among a lot of Nigerians and the international community, Emefiele quipped that he was having fun at the scenario.

According to him: “Let them have heart attack. It’s good to have heart attack. I am having a lot of fun.”

A group of farmers had procured the N100milion presidential nomination forms of the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) for Emefiele, a move he denied as having his backing.

Nonetheless, videos have emerged of several vehicles adorned with  Emefiele’s presidential campaign materials.
