Sokoto State Governor and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, Aminu Tambuwal, has called on the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, to resign his position after associates of the CBN governor obtained All Progressive Congress, APC, nomination form for him.
Tambuwal made the call on Saturday while addressing PDP delegates in Jalingo, Taraba State.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Emefiele picked the APC N100m presidential nomination and expression of interest form on Friday In Abuja.
According to Tambuwal, the economy of the country was in shambles and the decision of Emefiele to run for the presidency, would have an immediate effect on the economy, considering its volatility.

He added; “If you want to run, please run, but leave our Central Bank alone.”
Tambuwal, who added that the economy was very volatile, noted that such decision could affect the economy, while decrying the present state of the nation’s economy.
Tambuwal, while noting that successful leadership demands fairness and equity, felt sad that the country was also now more divided than before.
