The Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, has responded to the widespread reports on his intention to join the 2023 presidential race.
Speaking via his official Twitter account on Saturday, Emefiele stated that he was humbled by those interested in knowing where he stands in the forthcoming election.
He disclosed that he has not made a decision yet and that he would continue to serve and sacrifice for the people of the country.
"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", he stated.
