Former President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed why he did not sack former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele when there were speculations of his interest to run for the presidency in 2023.

Buhari said that Emefiele never discussed it with him.

This revelation and others were made public in a memoir titled “Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015 – 2023)”, written by former Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

The book was presented in Abuja on Tuesday.

“I met Emefiele in office when I came, and unless there was firm evidence against him, it would be unfair and an act of injustice to remove him, acting on hearsay,” Buhari said in the book.

“If you punish a man unjustly, it could dog his footsteps throughout life, so if you would punish, you must have evidence and you should know that yourself wouldn’t be there forever. You would leave one day.

“I’m very conscious about the morale of people who serve with me. I also expect whoever succeeds me to be fair to me. I have family, friends, who will feel it. I’m very conscious of fairness.

“When he was linked with campaign for the 2023 presidency, I did not ask him, because he told nobody he was getting involved. Otherwise, I would have removed him and told the nation why,” he added.

You will never end well for destroying Nigeria beyond redemption.

You have nothing to explain. We are witnesses to your failed leadership.

Which means Buhari is not current with happenings in Nigeria

Hehehe.

This guy should just go and rest. You are the most clueless president Nigeria will ever have.

You were not aware of anything going on in Nigeria. The only thing you were interested in is your medical tourism.

History won't be kind with you.

One day Nigeria will appreciate your efforts. You have done your own part, leave all the bitter souls to wail as usual. I trust you to continue ignoring them, they are bitter because they did not 'benefit' from your government.

Lol. No evidence you say. What about huge evidences you ignored?

no evidence?.

more like u use him to cover ur 'track' record. All our politicians are grasscutters.

We all knew the real reason you allowed him be.

Not all Nigerians are gullible.

Just because you met him in office, doesn't mean he should remain there.

If you had a solid economic plan for the country, you would have known what to do. The man was as corrupt as anything, with audios from Sahara Reporters revealing his deeds.

Tinubu now is making the same mistakes. Insecurity everywhere. He should start by sacking the DG of the DSS.

You were not aware of Godwin's presidential ambitions but almost everybody around you in the corridors of power were aware. Is this not the reason some people assumed you're not the one in aso villa?

Nigerians will appreciate him for allowing his brothers murder, rape and sacked Nigerians from their ancestral lands?, for taking loans recklessly, for highest inflation rate and so on ?

What is wrong with you people?

Except you are wishing that Nigerians will keep getting worse leaders than Buhari that will make us appreciate all the evils I mentioned up there, just the way we are appreciating Jonathan even though his performance was not excellent...

You guys hate Nigeria and Nigerians, I see you people as very heartless and wicked human beings...

Back to the topic:

So you met Emefiele there and after his terrible performance of his first term of appointment you reappointed him to continue the damage on Nigeria, Buhari should listen to himself again...

He was not aware of Emefiele's ambition?

I'm sure Meffy dey learn his lessons already. Technocrats in power should do their jobs and leave dirty games.

Don't allow Politicians use you. Dem go stain your white.

Singing.. Before dem use me, I go use my sense, my sense - Asake 🎵 🎶

Buhari
Buhari messed up big time

Nonsense jagajaga talk. Oga stop talking we no wan hear your voice or your opinion on anything. Just remain irrelevant. We don forget say you dey exist,make it remain like that.

You didn't sack him because you didn't know any person to replace him with that was not a northerner and Tinubu's person.

Sweet coated bunch of lies

The first mistake is that you think firing someone from office is punishment. Yet, the word white people have given you to use is "relieve" him from the job.

Buhari failed in governance in flying colours

Story for the gods. I know there won't be anything worthwhile to read in the book
