The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked a story published in The Nation newspaper of Monday March 13, 2023 alleging that the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele had launched a fresh plot against Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The newspaper report had alleged that Emefiele provided funds for the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, to unseat the incumbent State governor, ahead of the March 18 gubernatorial election in Lagos State.

In a statement yesterday signed by the CBN Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Dr Isa Abdulmumin, the apex bank denied the allegation and condemned the article as false and malicious, while reiterating that the CBN Governor does not take part in politics.
