The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has given the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, an ultimatum of 21 days to fix the Nigerian economy or resign.
The
group gave the ultimatum on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 while calling on
President Mohammadu Buhari to get capable individuals to join him in
fixing the economy and getting it out of its current economic state.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the President, Comrade Isah Abubakar said: “This has shown total failure of the CBN governor and he has proved his total incompetence to manage Nigeria economy.
"It
is to this regard we demand for his resignation as the CBN governor and
urged Mr President to appoint a competent hand not minding where he
comes from, his ethnicity, or religion background. We only need someone
with sound economics nitty-gritty who can manage our delicate economy.
This is because we demand nothing but a better Nigeria.
“Failure
of the CBN governor to voluntarily resign or put the economy in the
right track within the 21-day of this ultimatum, NYCN will be forced to
organize and mobilize mass protests in front of the CBN headquarters in
Abuja”, Abubakar said in a statement.
Speaking further, Abubakar said: “After
watching with keen interest the present economic hardship in the
country, we are saying no thanks to CBN Governor who has not been able
to come up with any plan that can take us out of the wood as head of our
financial body, we at NYCN while supporting the administration of
President Mohammadu Buhari are saying we are not happy with his economy
team hence the need to look inward for better hands."
The
recent call for the sack of the CBN Governor is coming hours after
members of House of Reps called for the sack of the Governor over his
inability to save the falling Naira.
