CBN Governor Emefiele Under Scrutiny: Analysis of Ohanaeze Youths’ Reaction to Obaze Report.
Youths from the South-Eastern part of the country, under the auspices of the Ohanaeze Youths Movement (OYM), on Frday, came down hard on the Special Investigator on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Related Entities, Jim Obazee, describing his leaked report as laughable and glorified audit report of a village union.
In the report, the investigator had, among other allegations, accused the immediate-past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr Godwin Emefiele, of allegedly operating 593 illegal United States, United Kingdom and China accounts without the approval of the apex bank’s board.
The investigator also claimed that N26trillion Ways and Means fraud under Emefiele was uncovered.
But, reacting to the outcome of the investigation, the Ohanaeze youths, in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Friday, described the allegations contained in the said report as laughable.
They described the report as the handiwork of hatchet men who were desperate for something to hold on to hang Emefiele.
