The Nigeria Senate has reacted to the allegations of stolen N500 billion at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institution dismissed the allegations on Wednesday at plenary.

This was as Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele appeared before the committee for screening and confirmation for second term.

Igbere TV reports that Chairman of the Committee, Rafiu Ibrahim, said the allegations were targeted at bringing down the CBN governor.

Our National Assembly correspondent reports that the committee, thereafter, approved a second term for Godwin Emefiele as Governor of the Central Bank.

Igbere TV recalls President, Muhammadu Buhari had last week nominated Emefiele for a second term.

During the screening, the committee expressed satisfaction over Emefiele’s first tenure at the CBN.

“I do not have any question for the Governor. I am overwhelmed. I wish you well and pray for you. May God continue to guide you.

“Now, we know the reason why there are some videos on social media because in Nigeria, once you are a good person, some people will always try to bring you down. We will expeditiously take a report to the chamber for consideration. You can take a bow,” Ibrahim said.

My dear such a claim should be investigated. Its not partisan to investigate a pro national issue sir. However sensational right or wrong, it ought to be investigated and if false punish the outlets of false information.

Useless APC government

a welcome development....soon now they will be shouting a southern appointment by APC

Good

Saraki is beginning to get sense but it is too late

Useless rubber stamp Senate

Seun, mods, the headline is false. He met with the Senate committee on Banking today, who will then recommend his confirmation to the Senate later. So he has not been confirmed by the Senate please.

Anything goes in the zoo ... smh

My personal opinion.

The might have gotten the feet wet and hands rubbed.

How can a sub-committee member be saying he has no question to ask. So glaring that situation is not normal in that sittings.

If you know you know.

Ok

Our IPOB brothers from Idemili, Nkalagu, Orlu,
Umundugba, Amandugba, Ekwe, Uburu Ekwe, Isunjaba, Amurie Omanze, Ebenator Ekwe, Oboro and Umuahia etc should be very happy now...

Amuocha:

You are more senseless because the chairman senate committee is PDP senator, Saraki boy from kwara South

On what evidence should the allegation be investigated? Or the Senate should also rely on the news from Midday newspaper alleging the CBN Governor of N500b stealing also?

The allegations should be investigated.

OBAGADAFFI:
The allegations should be investigated.

Especially when the chairman Senate committee on banking and finance is a PDP and Saraki loyal boy. Una go wail tire

But the write up in the last paragraph states that this is a recommendation by the committee for confirmation by the senate not a confirmation in itself

My course facilitator was right!

This! That's why Nigeria is where it is today. Why does everything have to be analysed from an ethnic point of view? Who benefits? Not like the Emefiele guy (or any other public official) cares about anyone else but himself.
The funny thing about ethnicity is that u had zero say on what tribe to belong to at birth. That means if u were born into another ethnic group, your stance on Emefiele would be different. So sad. Why not analyse stuff from an ethic-invariant point of view?
