Tinubu speaks on Emefiele, says financial system ‘rotten’ under former CBN boss

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday in Paris, France, said the financial system of the country was ‘rotten’ under the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

Tinubu, who spoke during his first engagement with Nigerians in France, cited the difficulty in the flow of forex in and out of the country, adding that it enriched a few people while impoverishing the vast majority of Nigerians.

“The financial system was rotten. Few people were making away with our money…that is gone now; the man (Emefiele) is in the hands of the authorities,” Tinubu said.
