Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, has said he is focused on fighting inflation and designing a robust monetary policy for the country.
He stated this against the backdrop of reports that he had the intention to contest for President in 2023.
Recall that several groups have been piling pressures on the CBN governor to throw his hat into the ring and contest the presidential elections.
But Emefiele in his official Twittter handle yesterday, said he was more concerned about how to bring down the high inflation rate in the country than worry over contest for the presidency, which he described as a rumour.
“My focus at this time is a robust monetary policy and fighting inflation which is now a global problem; building a strong financial system in an increasingly uncertain global economy.
“Development finance and supporting farmers and manufacturers in our self sufficiency and import substitution drive; raising N15 trillions for InfraCo infrastructure financing.”
“Building a world class International Financial Centre in Lagos; as we support the @MBuhari Administration to finish strong.#NoDistractionsPlease,” the tweet read.
