Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Godwin Emefiele, Saturday said he would speak out soon on whether he would join the 2023 presidential race or not.
He also said should he be interested, he would use his savings from his 35 years in the banking industry to pick up the form.
He added that should he not be interested, he would continue serving under President Muhammadu Buhari government.
He made the clarification in his Twitter handle: @GodwinIEmefiele.

“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections: I have not come to that decision.
“I note and salute the sacrifices of those farmers and patriots going as far as raising personal funds and offering me Presidential Nomination Forms: I thank them most profusely.
“However, Should I answer their calls and decide to seek presidential nomination, I will use my own hard earned savings from over 35 years of banking leadership to buy my own Nomination Forms, without proxies in an open and transparent manner in full compliance with the laws and Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“And should I not run for elected office, I will continue to serve and sacrifice for the good people of Nigeria under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“This is a serious decision that requires God’s Divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct.”
