Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Central Banks of Nigeria, CBN has debunked reports that its Governor, Godwin Emefiele was sacked.<\/p>\n

Several online media platforms particularly blogs had reported that the CBN governor was sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

While some social media users believe the president may need to go through legislative processes before sacking the governor, others have continued to spread rumours of his alleged sack.<\/p>\n

But when contacted by DAILY POST, the Head of Corporate Communications of the Central Bank, Osita Nwanisiobi said the purported sack was not true.<\/p>\n

Denying the report, Osita said, \u201cI heard it just the way you got it too. As far as I am concerned, it\u2019s a rumour, I\u2019m not aware of any sack\u201d<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the CBN Governor has been under pressure since he declared interest in running for president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.<\/p>\n

Some stakeholders had called for his sack over his involvement in partisan politics.<\/p>\n
