He said the suspension and subsequent arrest of Emefiele by the Department of State Services, DSS was a relief for Nigerians.

He wrote, “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 were to the utter detriment of the Nigerian people.
