The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has given President Bola Tinubu a pat on the back for suspending Mr. Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Tinubu suspended Emefiele late Friday and directed him to immediately hand over to the apex bank’s Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), Folashodun Shonubi.
While reacting to the development, Wike who was one of the critics of Emefiele’s policies, especially the Naira redesign, described the President’s decision as bold and timely.
He also commanded Tinubu for approving uniformity in the retirement age and pension of judicial officers in the country, according to a statement by his media team.
He said the president’s action will introduce a new lease of life to the country’s judiciary.
Wike noted that he and other G-5 members are impressed that the president is showing focus and exemplary leadership that will lead the county to prosperity.
