Imoukhuede May Succeed Sanusi As Next CBN Governor by Adesiji77: 10:18pm On Apr 24, 2013 |
AS the race on who succeeds the incumbent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Lamido Sanusi in June next year gets tougher, there are strong indications that the Presidency and key cabinet members of the administration may have settled for the Group Managing Director of Access Bank, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede. Since Sanusi confirmed in March this year that he will not seek second term, various individuals have been jostling for the plum job. Apart from Imoukhuede, Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda; Chairman of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Atedo Peterside and a renowned economist and Chief Executive Officer, Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Mr Bismarck Rewane, among others, were speculated as frontline contestants. Nigerian Tribune gathered that apart from the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala and Sanusi, President Goodluck Jonathan has given his full support to the Access Bank boss to clinch the job. A source close to Imoukhuede confirmed to Nigerian Tribune that the coordinating Minister of the Economy and Mallam Sanusi actually sold the candidature of the Access Bank boss to President Jonathan. With this development, President Jonathan may have dumped his kinsman, Peterside. The Stanbic IBTC Chairman was also said to rely heavily on Sanusi, a fellow Kings College old boy. Industry watchers are not surprised at the present scenario as Imoukhuede has been the unofficial personal assistant to the incumbent CBN Governor. Apart from defending Sanusi’s policy at any given forum, he is said to have been understudying him in the last two years. Imoukhuede who is a member of the Nigeria Economic Management Team (NEMT) is also believed to be a member of the ‘kitchen cabinet’ of President Jonathan which has seen him handling many committees including that of the fuel subsidy. A financial analyst who pleaded anonymity told Nigerian Tribune that the industry is already expecting Imoukhuede to succeed Sanusi as the next CBN Governor. According to him, over time, Sanusi has seen Imoukhuede as somebody he can trust and rely on, stressing that the duo are always together at every event. “We will not be surprised. Imoukhuede is a brilliant young man. He knows what he wants and will always go for it. Apart from Sanusi, he is close to his colleagues and even the Presidency. I wish him good luck,” he said. http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/10259-imoukhuede-may-succeed-sanusi-as-next-cbn-governor |

Aig... The ruthless cowboy, who bit the fingers that fed him. He took a loan from Intercontinental bank, the loan went bad and he still dispossessed Erastus of his bank. Back in 2009, his name and that of Herbert Wigwe were published with other debtors of Inter, on the dailies. Aig and Herbert owed the bank about N16 billion. You better obtain "amnesty" before assuming your exalted position, mr cbn gov'nor! |

I'd personally prefer Bismarck Rewane would have been a brilliant choice.The next CBN governor shld be someone with an in-depth understanding of the peculiarity of the Nigerian economy.His analysis over the years has been spot on and any statement by Bismarck is taken seriously in d financial sector. Aig is not really a bad choice,he is smart and will certainly get d job done but he lacks d wisdom of pple like Rewane.Atedo too is not a bad choice.I think we shld really be exited abt the prospects a change in leadership will bring to d banking sector. |
