Governor Godwin Emefiele’s first term expires in early June
President Buhari may replace him with someone from the north.
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has come under pressure from his political allies to replace central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele when his term ends in June, according to people familiar with the matter.

While Buhari is yet to make a final decision, he is mulling replacing Emefiele, a southerner, with a northerner, according to two people, who asked not to be identified as the matter is private. Emefiele would want a second term if he is offered it, one of the people said. Since the end of military rule in 1999 no Nigerian central bank governor has served more than one term.

Emefiele sent a letter to Buhari informing him that his term ended in three months, according to one of the people. Buhari replied thanking Emefiele for his service, but without giving more details, the person said.

Excaperx:
under which pressure? He doesn't care about people opinion.

He will be replaced by a northerner, buhari is a bigot

chozzy:
The major qualifications for getting appointment under Buhari are just two

1) Being a NORTHERNER

2) Being a MUSLIM

I voted for Atiku because unlike Buhari, he is detribalised.
Atiku considers merit and competence. He shops for best brains irrespective of tribe and religion.

Politics is investment. You invest and reap. You cannot invest 5% votes and expect CBN governorship position. Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara a.k.a The Kardashians deserve the position because they invested about 70% of their votes. It is unGodly to rob Peter in order to pay Paul. South East can continue to hold the Minister of Labour where there is always crisis and troubles and Minister for Extenal Affairs to help lie to international community that we are enjoying in Nigeria. If you want to talk about competence, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi ran CBN better than Godwin Emefiele.

You're a stark illiterate cretin!

Why has Trump not stopped paying attention to California since he got lesser votes from there?

God forgive you. You have no better place for your generation yet unborn

So? Was it not a southerner who had just completed his tenure? Even Emirates sanusi wasn't allowed to finish his tenure like emefiele was allowed to, before giving him the sack by Jonathan.

Kagawa10:


But do you really expect a southerner considering a southerner has just completed his tenure?

MXrep:

A northerner finished at fure service buhari replaced with another northerner. Northerners finished at DSS and supreme court. Osibanjo appointed southerners, buhari came back and replaced them with northerners

rexwalters:
Don't mind these absent minded hypocrites,looking in the mirror and calling the person they see in the mirror (themselves) bigots.
