The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has picked the expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Elendu Reports confirmed that Emefiele picked the N100 million forms from the party’s organising secretary at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja Friday morning.
There had been speculations that Emefiele was interested in succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari, but he had debunked it.
In February 2014, former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Emefiele, hours after he announced the suspension of his predecessor, Sanusi Lamido.
In 2019, the former Managing Director of Zenith Bank made history as the first CBN governor to be reappointed.
Prior to purchasing the forms, his posters were seen in major cities, including the Federal Capital Territory. Some persons believed to be his support group had also used his posters on some vehicles.
