The President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio has said that the government is at a loss regarding what to charge the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele with.
According to him, Emefiele committed so many economic offences during his time in power as the head of the country’s apex bank.
The atrocities the Senate President accused Emefiele of committing include illegal possession of firearms, printing naira notes without authorization, and others which put Nigeria in an economic mess.
He said there is hunger in Nigeria today because of the type of policies and actions taken under Emefiele’s watch during the past administration.
Akpabio, however, noted that despite the damages caused by the past administration, the government of President Bola Tinubu is battling to ensure Nigerians can sleep with their eyes closed and eat three square meals a day.
While appealing for patience from Nigerians, Akpabio, who spoke personally on Sunday during a thanksgiving service by Senator Barinada Mpigi in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State, said the current leadership would get to the bottom of everything and turn things around for the better.
He said the damages that have happened in Nigeria for so many years can not be corrected in just six months.
