ASF Protects The Image Of Former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, Who Was Charged With Forgery

Godwin Emefiele, Former CBN Governor 

“We are proud to say that if for about nine years as CBN governor, the only misdemeanor found in our brother is forgery," says ASF.

Agbor Stakeholders Forum, a Delta State-based organization, reportedly defends the reputation of Godwin Emefiele, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, who was accused of forging the signature of the president during the 2023 elections.

They query the possibility that a dishonest CBN governor would have to use forgeries to obtain money, and they issue a challenge to those who have accused Emefiele of misconduct to present proof of their claims.

The statement says, “We are proud to say that if for about nine years as CBN governor, the only misdemeanor found in our brother is forgery of the president's signature during the 2023 elections, then Emefiele must be a saint indeed.

“Does a corrupt CBN governor need to forge any signatures to covet millions of dollars over nine years? But no such monies have been found on him or his immediate family and friends. The sum in question ($ 6.2 million) was never traced to his account nor was he in charge of elections monitoring. So who got the money?

“They sing about N23 trillion 'ways and means funds created by Emefiele and we challenge them to tell Nigerians how much loans and 'ways and means funds they have procured in just nine months.”
