Senator Shehu Sani, a lawmaker and social critic, projected that Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor, will be powerless after President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office.
After Buhari leaves power on May 29, Sani, in a tweet on Saturday, compared Emefiele’s situation to a “Zebra in the hands of Tigers”.
The tweet reads, “When Baba is gone, Emefiele will be like [a] Zebra in the hands of Tigers.”
Recall that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is thought to have been badly affected by the monetary policies initiated by Godwin Emefiele, was declared the winner in last Saturday’s presidential election.
Many believe that the CBN initiated its naira redesign policy to cripple Tinubu’s chances of winning the election, as this could not be unconnected to Senator Shehu Sani’s tweet.
