Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has been told to resign following his collection of nomination forms to contest the presidential election under the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Emefiele picked the form on Friday at the International Conference Center, Abuja and is reportedly set to declare his intention on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This development has stirred reactions on social media as Nigerians condemned the fact that a sitting Governor of the CBN is partisan.<\/p>\n

Some have asked for Emefiele\u2019s resignation, describing his decision to pick APC nomination form as undemocratic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter;<\/p>\n

@TheoAbuAgada \u201c Nigeria is gone. Imagine the man in charge of Nigeria\u2019s monetary policy is an active politician. Lmao. Can\u2019t make this up. Emefiele must resign now.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Editieffiong \u201c IG of Police or Chief of Army Staff could decide to run for president while actively commanding thousands of armed personnel, and nothing would happen. This is the precedent being set by Emefiele.\u201d<\/p>\n

@GraceJohn \u201cNigeria law is useless, what is CBN doing with APC party still in office? He should resign immediately. What kind of rubbish is this?<\/p>\n

@Slyore \u201cI never thought this day will come, where a sitting CBN governor would be audaciously involved in politics. The bar has finally dropped. Sad indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

@DrChinemerem \u201cUnder BUHARI and APC, the rules and laws of basic decency don\u2019t apply.\u201d<\/p>\n

@AniediUdofia \u201cWe live in a crazy country. President sef wants to be party chairman<\/p>\n

@Chiukwujioke \u201cNigeria is a Joke if a CBN Governor can pull out 100m while still in office, then we are in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

@De\u2019Mayor \u201cWhen the man in charge of the country\u2019s wealth decides to play politics while still in that sensitive position, that country is finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Oliviamzia \u201cHow can a seating CBN governor be meddling in politics to the point of picking a party ticket for an elective position.\u201d<\/p>\n

@OpeyemiAkinyod \u201c GODWIN EMEFIELE! I don\u2019t even know if to Cry or Laugh at this One sha!!!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve never been this ridiculed in our democratic journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Pdauda \u201cImpressed at how NOBODY in the ruling party thinks of how this lawlessness will come back to bite them because it will.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Denzel \u201cMy question is we have almost 8 people picking up this 100 M form in APC. what will this money be used for exactly knowing that only one person will be nominated? what happens to the cash.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Leroii_wes \u201cAt this point with the number of people picking up the APC presidential form, it\u2019s safe to say they\u2019re all crowdfunding for the flag bearer.Not sure but I thought there was some rule about resigning from certain positions when picking up a ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n
