| Godwin Emefiele, |
By Williams Eghebi
Early this year, Pastor Tunde Bakare, apparently in response to his dwindling church collections, called for the resignation or sack of Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. Some legislators including Dino Melaye, the unofficial spokesman of the embattled Senator Bukola Saraki, joined the fray without empirical fact to link the current economic challenges to the nation's chief banker. These rabble-rousers received unquantifiable attacks from all angles.
Last week, a member of the Federal House of Representatives, probably instigated by excess gulping of restricted beverage, chose the CBN Governor as the specimen to test it's potency. According to him, Mr. Emefiele should be shown the exit door as sacrifice for the harsh economic realities we now face.My knowledge of economics did not transcend my secondary school aside what I gathered from my interactions with several countries visited and media reportage. But this recap may serve useful purpose.
