Deji Adeyanju: Tinubu Didn’t Appoint An Economist In The CBN As Governor Because He Is Igbo, Instead A Yoruba, “Mechanic”

President Tinubu

Prominent social commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has expressed his reservations over President Tinubu’s decision regarding the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Following the suspension of Godwin Emefiele in the early stages of Tinubu’s administration, rather than appointing a seasoned economist as a replacement, his deputy, Mr Shunobi automatically assumed the role.

Adeyanju has been vocal about the continuous devaluation of Nigeria’s currency. He directly attributed this to the absence of a qualified economist at the helm of the nation’s apex bank. Taking to his social media, Adeyanju said, “I kept screaming that it was a wrong move when Tinubu made a mechanic CBN Governor but they were insulting me. Now, the dollar is approaching N1,000 & will keep rising.”

He further claimed that Tinubu’s decision was motivated by ethnic considerations rather than merit. “There is an economist in that CBN, but Tinubu didn’t make him Acting because he is Igbo. Instead, he preferred his Yoruba brother,” Adeyanju alleged. CONTINUE READING
