Laolu Akande, former spokesperson for the immediate past Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has described the alleged damage the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, perpetrated at the apex bank as colossal.

Akande also said the suspension and investigation of Emefiele was long over due and should be supported by any Nigerians who value integrity.

He stated this via his twitter handle on Saturday, saying that Emefiele’s “shenanigans” were detriment to Nigerians.

He wrote, “It was about time d CBN Governor faced suspension & investigation. All people of goodwill & those who value integrity, irrespective of political leanings would be thankful for this development.

“Emefiele was given a long rope, but he failed to redeem himself. His shenanigans & the colossal damages he perpetrated at the CBN was to the utter detriment of the Nigerian people. This is not even about cashless policy, but apparent corruption especially in the dual exchange rate policy which never made sense. What a sigh of relief!”

God is with @officialABAT.

Just see how Laolu Akande gave an insight to the proxy war????

God is great!!!

Laolu Akande is doing what I told you people theyd do. Just wait till you hear from Tolu Ogunlesi to understand the kind of Idiots we have in this Country.

And he'd go to church tomorrow and people will clap for him

I hate duplicity and intellectual dishonesty. @akandeoj was @ProfOsinbajo ‘s media aide. They praised all of Emefiele’s doings including Anchor Borrower’s Program, Byzantine Exchange Rate policy, Naira redesign etc and now he is coming to tell us he deserves to be arrested. Tufia

What did Emefiele do that was not with the support of Buhari and Osinbajo? Emefiele was the errand boy who did his masters’ bidding to stay relevant.

He worked well with Buhari and Osinbajo administration to destroy Nigeria. https://t.co/iwnOP6JA3U

Your principal was VP in the admin that allowed Emefiele to implement harebrained policies & unleash untold suffering on Nigerians.

And during this time, y'all kept quiet & looked the other way.

You better sit down at the back https://t.co/dgM4lNN7xX

Your Oga at the top was the chairman of the Economic Management Team (EMT) with @GodwinIEmefiele

Sometimes you don’t throw stones when in glass house or even around the premises.

Laolu, there is no world in which this thread makes sense. Not a single one. You maintained a sensible and dignified silence for 8 years. This is not the time or event to break it for. https://t.co/fRM7atcCkK

You’re a clown. This attempt to make Emefiele the fall guy won’t work. You are all culpable for his actions. Emefiele did the Buhari’s bidding and same was strongly supported by Osibanjo. https://t.co/m8IHETOgBx
