A pressure group with the name, “Push 4 Emefiele 2023 Presidency”, yesterday in Benin City, urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele to vie for the 2023 presidential election.
It also noted that the emergence of Emefiele as President of Nigeria in 2023 will not only improve the economy of the country but will also rescue Nigeria from the present economic woes.
Speaking at a media ress briefing, the National Coordinator of “Push 4 Emefiele 2023 Presidency” Presly Okojie, said the reason they are committed to the course is because the apex bank boss has done very well for the period he is in the saddle.
According to Okojie, “The man, Godwin Emefiele was CEO/MD of Zenith Bank until in 2014 when the former president, Godluck Jonathan appointed him governor of Central Bank and when President Buhari came into power,he reappointed him,because of his performance. He was the one that introduced the BVN (Banking Verification Number) that has made bank transaction very easy, he also brought Nigeria out of recession two times in five years. Nigeria was having about 3,000 maga watts of electricity, but through his efforts Nigeria has about 5,000 mega Watts today and that is what has brought stability in the power sector.
“He anchored the Anchor Borrower Programs, the COVID-19 intervention programs, the agric loans.Our microfinance banks are one of the best today courtesy what Mr Godwin Emefiele has done, I believe that If such a man is given the chance he will make Nigeria an enviable country.”
Okojie disclosed that the group has began its nation-wide mobilization in Edo state and will move to River State as well as other states in south-south and Nigeria as a whole.
