Emefiele’s Presidential Ambition: PDP thrives on nagging, says group

“We are aghast that a party like the PDP …. is the one tagging the Buhari government and Emefiele as corrupt.”

The Centre for Integrity and Good Governance (CIGG) has frowned upon the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) request that the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, should resign for alleged political partisanship.

PDP had in a statement issued accused the CBN under Mr Emefiele of massive looting and manipulations. The party then asked that Mr Emefiele should resign.

However, Waheed Aderibigbe, CIGG convener, in a statement on Sunday, said PDP thrived on nagging.

Mr Aderibigbe acknowledged the constitutional right of PDP to hold opinions on any issue, but noted that calling for Mr Emefiele’s resignation was baseless.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-7675530425486834&output=html&h=250&adk=1195394226&adf=3460278019&pi=t.aa~a.412726133~i.7~rp.4&w=360&fwrnh=102&lmt=1652685615&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=9350639259&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgazettengr.com%2Femefieles-presidential-ambition-pdp-thrives-on-nagging-says-group%2F&host=ca-host-pub-2644536267352236&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=247&rw=296&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8OyHlAYQlNLHiqb84bDpARI9AGzDQFZG_46ND7oG_rnKwUX4UH9Wwd-FDig4zGkBxS15_43sbHFNbh0d8dSz-F9wsoQ4hf_996rfXe5iHg&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiMTIuMC4wIiwiIiwiVEVDTk8gQ0c2IiwiMTAwLjAuNDg5Ni41OCIsW10sbnVsbCxudWxsLCIiLFtbIiBOb3QgQTtCcmFuZCIsIjk5LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEwMC4wLjQ4OTYuNTgiXSxbIkdvb2dsZSBDaHJvbWUiLCIxMDAuMC40ODk2LjU4Il1dLGZhbHNlXQ..&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9wYWdlYWQyLmdvb2dsZXN5bmRpY2F0aW9uLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjoyOSwiaGFzUmVkZW1wdGlvblJlY29yZCI6dHJ1ZX1d&dt=1652685615464&bpp=10&bdt=1720&idt=-M&shv=r20220511&mjsv=m202205100101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Da66f10159cee67de-22f03e7eeecc00e9%3AT%3D1636672309%3ART%3D1636672309%3AS%3DALNI_Mag3Olv05Q3qJdHDDhEmLbzNg3wrA&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x250&nras=3&correlator=7727716693736&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1713490727.1651217078&ga_sid=1652685614&ga_hid=2097361379&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=50&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_sd=2&dmc=4&adx=0&ady=1580&biw=360&bih=656&scr_x=0&scr_y=58&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C44760475%2C44761043%2C44762586%2C31067067%2C31067545%2C21067496%2C31067525&oid=2&pvsid=2126616134946888&pem=116&tmod=2134368036&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fgazettengr.com%2Fdeborah-samuel-police-begin-observation-patrol-in-kaduna%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C656%2C360%2C656&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&jar=2022-05-15-12&ifi=3&uci=a!3&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=YETvsQvRm4&p=https%3A//gazettengr.com&dtd=143

“We are aghast that a party like the PDP …. is the one tagging the Buhari government and Emefiele as corrupt. While we do not hold brief for the APC government or Emefiele, as they can adequately speak for themselves, we are bemused by the brazen boldness of the PDP to tag any government or person in Nigeria as corrupt,” said the statement.

The group accused the PDP and its members of engaging in corruption for 16 years while in power.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-7675530425486834&output=html&h=250&adk=1195394226&adf=3818965141&pi=t.aa~a.412726133~i.12~rp.4&w=360&fwrnh=102&lmt=1652685615&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=9350639259&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgazettengr.com%2Femefieles-presidential-ambition-pdp-thrives-on-nagging-says-group%2F&host=ca-host-pub-2644536267352236&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=247&rw=296&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8OyHlAYQlNLHiqb84bDpARI9AGzDQFZG_46ND7oG_rnKwUX4UH9Wwd-FDig4zGkBxS15_43sbHFNbh0d8dSz-F9wsoQ4hf_996rfXe5iHg&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiMTIuMC4wIiwiIiwiVEVDTk8gQ0c2IiwiMTAwLjAuNDg5Ni41OCIsW10sbnVsbCxudWxsLCIiLFtbIiBOb3QgQTtCcmFuZCIsIjk5LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJDaHJvbWl1bSIsIjEwMC4wLjQ4OTYuNTgiXSxbIkdvb2dsZSBDaHJvbWUiLCIxMDAuMC40ODk2LjU4Il1dLGZhbHNlXQ..&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9wYWdlYWQyLmdvb2dsZXN5bmRpY2F0aW9uLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjoyOSwiaGFzUmVkZW1wdGlvblJlY29yZCI6dHJ1ZX1d&dt=1652685615464&bpp=8&bdt=1720&idt=-M&shv=r20220511&mjsv=m202205100101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Da66f10159cee67de-22f03e7eeecc00e9%3AT%3D1636672309%3ART%3D1636672309%3AS%3DALNI_Mag3Olv05Q3qJdHDDhEmLbzNg3wrA&prev_fmts=0x0%2C360x250%2C360x250&nras=4&correlator=7727716693736&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1713490727.1651217078&ga_sid=1652685614&ga_hid=2097361379&ga_fc=1&u_tz=60&u_his=50&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_sd=2&dmc=4&adx=0&ady=2195&biw=360&bih=656&scr_x=0&scr_y=58&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C44760475%2C44761043%2C44762586%2C31067067%2C31067545%2C21067496%2C31067525&oid=2&pvsid=2126616134946888&pem=116&tmod=2134368036&uas=0&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fgazettengr.com%2Fdeborah-samuel-police-begin-observation-patrol-in-kaduna%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C656%2C360%2C656&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&jar=2022-05-15-12&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=KGtujSQ3V1&p=https%3A//gazettengr.com&dtd=193

“The PDP should let Emefiele be, as he continues to clean the mess and heal the injury which the PDP inflicted on the nation,” added the CIGG convener.
