Emefiele incompetent, worst CBN gov. ever, says Kingsley Moghalu

Kingsley Moghalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has described Godwin Emefiele,  the embattled former governor of the apex bank as the ‘worst’ governor in the history of the country.
Writing in a lengthy post via his verified handle on X, following a purported report by a CBN investigator appointed by President Bola Tinubu, Moghalu said  Emefiele was incompetent as regards stabilising the naira exchange rate and inflation, the “brazen illegal” provision of Ways and Means lending to the government, his “illegal” attempt to run for president, and the “incompetent” manner in which the naira redesign policy was handled as connected to why he has concluded him to be the worst and damaging CBN governor.

“The foregoing notwithstanding, my views on Emefiele’s performance as CBN Governor have been a matter of record even when many now opining on the matter of his performance on the job were mute, he said. “He is, without debate, the worst and most damaging Central Bank Governor in Nigeria’s history- incompetent and ill-prepared for the role, and from all available information from his actions, doubtlessly severely challenged with integrity.

“Four things make this clear; his performance regarding the STABILITY of the Naira exchange rate, as well as inflation; the brazen illegal provisions of Ways & Means lending to @NigeriaGov; Emefiele’s illegal attempt to run for President, in clear contravention of Section 9 of the CBN Act of 2007, which precludes the Governor and Deputy Governors from engaging in activities outside their functions; and he incompetent manner in which the Naira Redesign Policy was handled, and its consequent negative, indeed disastrous impact on Nigeria’s economy,” he noted.

However, speaking on the report’s authenticity and media trial, Moghalu said, “The ‘report’ has no signature appended, so we can’t assume it is the real and official report. Assuming it is, in fact, the real report, it’s wrong for such a sensitive report to have ‘leaked’ to the public before the President and his government have reviewed and spoken to it.

“This is a media trial and prejudices the rights of these individuals named or referred to. This is NOT how a report into the Central Bank of Nigeria should be handled.”
