According to the report from the Vanguard, A Delta State-based group, the Agbor Stakeholders Forum, defends the reputation of Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, who has been accused of forging the president’s signature during the 2023 elections.
They question whether a corrupt CBN governor would need to resort to forgery in order to gain access to funds, and challenges those who have accused Emefiele of wrongdoing to provide evidence of his alleged misconduct.
The statement says, “We are proud to say that if for about nine years as CBN governor, the only misdemeanor found in our brother is forgery of the president’s signature during the 2023 elections, then Emefiele must be a saint indeed.
Does a corrupt CBN governor need to forge any signatures to covet millions of dollars over nine years? But no such monies have been found on him or his immediate family and friends. The sum in question ($ 6.2 million) was never traced to his account nor was he in charge of elections monitoring. So who got the money?
They sing about N23 trillion ‘ways and means’ funds created by Emefiele and we challenge them to tell Nigerians how much loans and ‘ways and means’ funds they have procured in just nine months.”
