Buhari Reveals His Preferred Successor For 2023 Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Buhari disclosed this in an interview with Bloomberg News.

When inquired as to whether he intends to endorse a candidate for President in 2023, he said “Yes. I will endorse the APC candidate for president.”

Talking on worries over CBN’s independence following the Governor, Godwin Emefiele’s interest to run for President in 2023, Buhari said Emefiele was a victim of allegations in light of the fact that as an apex bank governor he follows a model beyond the economic orthodoxy.

He further expressed that the CBN board of directors will decide if Emefiele’s actions have fallen foul of the regulations set up to guarantee he can most really do his obligations.

”The CBN governor is appointed by the President. But this appointment is subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Senate. Ultimately, it will be for the CBN’s board of directors to determine whether a CBN governor’s actions have fallen foul of the laws in place to ensure he can most effectively carry out his duties.

”But there is a subtext to the accusations. Because the governor follows a model outside of the economic orthodoxy, he is labelled political. But the orthodoxy has been proved wrong time and again.

“Instead, the governor is following an alternative economic model that puts people at the heart of policy. Nigeria should be free to choose its development model and how to construct our economy, so it functions for Nigerians,” he added.
