The Arewa Youth Assembly is backing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele over the redesign of the naira and the newly-introduced withdrawal limits.
The group made its position known during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday where it called on Nigerians to support the apex bank chief’s policies which it argued are for the betterment of the country.
The group’s Publicity Secretary Ali Muhammad said “Nigerians are aware that since he was appointed the CBN Governor, he has introduced over 37 interventions to save the economy”.
“The beauty of it all is that these interventions are not for his benefit but for the benefit of the common man”.
According to him, it is verifiable that President Muhammadu is fulfilling his campaign promises through Godwin Emefiele policies, which range from a fight against insecurity, agriculture, job creation, and fight against corruption just to mention but a few.”
The comment comes hours after a court ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to halt a move to arrest Emefiele over terrorism charges.
The Arewa Youth Assembly also faulted the attempt to arrest the CBN Governor, describing it as disturbing.
