The Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council has alleged that those politicians shouting ‘it is my turn’ were responsible for the crisis rocking the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In a statement by the spokesperson of the campaign council, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Tuesday, the council said information at its disposal revealed that inordinately ambitious politicians that run activities with bullion vans and raw cash were those inciting Nigerians against the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele.
“The inordinately ambitious politicians that run activities with bullion vans and raw cash are out to destroy the nation’s financial institutions, particularly, the CBN, for their selfish political interests”.
“It is instructive to caution that the stability of the CBN as Nigeria’s apex financial institution is critical to the economic and social health of our nation and must not fall prey to corrupt politicians who are out to annex and control our national patrimony as well as resources for their personal ambitions.
“Nigerians know the politicians who are desperate for political office as their “turn”, who see our nation and her citizens as an estate for sale, and who believe that their vacuity, many gaffes, manifest incompetence, incapacity for leadership and allegations of smelly past can be perfumed through the dispensing of corruptly acquired cash.
“It was important that those who were allegedly after the CBN and her governor should be wary not to dishonor the institution in the course as the major outcome of such will be terrible on Nigeria’s already ailing economy.
“Our Campaign counsels such politicians to rather market their programmes to Nigerians, if they have any, and end their reprehensible hope on vote buying”.
“What is of paramount importance to us in the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation is the stability of the polity, economic growth as well as the wellbeing and happiness of Nigerians in the overall national interest”., the statement read.
