Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, has urged the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele to stop playing hide and seek concerning his intention to be Nigeria’s next president by resigning with immediate effect.
Ezekwesiki pointed out that the game by Emefiele is embarrassing and toying with monetary authority of Nigeria.
The BBOG activist made this assertions while reacting to Emefiele’s recent statement stating he’s waiting for God’s divine intervention to decide if he would contest for Presidency.

Ezekwesili via her Twitter page wrote: ‘I just read your waffling neither-here-nor-there tweet reacting to news of your payment of N100M for the APC Nomination form for 2023 Presidential election. Seems you did not read what the APC Spokesperson said to @Bloomberg . Resign. Stop embarrassing the country. Stop.
‘This is for you. Time to end your low-grade hide and seek game that dangerously toys with the monetary authority of this country and its people. Resign.
‘It is legitimate aspiration to seek to be President of Nigeria but resign from CBN to go pursue it.’
In the meantime, Emefiele has reacted to a viral report on his intention to run for the presidency in the 2023 election.
The governor of the apex bank has been under pressure and criticised since expression and nomination forms of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were picked on his behalf on Friday.
This move has stirred calls from well meaning Nigerians asking Emefieke to resign, declaring his presidential ambition as a serving governor undemocratic.
Emefiele, in a thread on his verified Twitter page, on Saturday, said he was yet to take a stand.
The CBN boss said God would direct his decision in the next few days.
He said he would use his hard earned savings to fund the project, in compliance with Nigeria’s constitution, should he take a decision to join the contest.
Meanwhile, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state in his remarks also stated that the continued action by Emefiele regarding his presidential ambition is illegality taken too far.
