Laolu Akande, one of the top aides of the immediate past vice-president of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, has describe the suspension and arrest of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele as both timely and necessary.

Akande in his reaction on twitter, Saturday, alleged that the CBN governor was involved in massive corruption and he had all the opportunity to redeem himself.

Akande who hailed President Bola Tinubu’s bold steps to probe Emefiele’s alleged corruption in the exchange rate policy said the suspension came at the right time.

In his words, “It was about time the CBN Governor faced suspension & investigation. All people of goodwill & those who value integrity, irrespective of political leanings would be thankful for this development.

“Emefiele was given a long rope, but he failed to redeem himself. His shenanigans & the colossal damages he perpetrated at the CBN was to the utter detriment of the Nigerian people.

“This is not even about cashless policy, but apparent corruption especially in the dual exchange rate policy which never made sense. What a sigh of relief!”
