Pastor Bakare said even though Emefiele may have made wrong judgment in the management of Nigeria’s monetary policy, considering the provisions of the CBN Act 2007, there is every possibility that he did not act without presidential authorization.
Bakare stated this during a state of the nation address where he made remarks on recent happenings in the country yesterday.
While the Pastor maintained that Emefiele should be prosecuted if found guilty of any crime, he noted that events before the 2023 presidential election points to the direction of political vendetta against the suspended CBN governor by President Bola Tinubu.
He also criticized the Department of State Services for their role in Emefiele’s arrest and detention, saying that their actions have raised concerns over professionalism and adherence to the rule of law.
He is being prosecuted by the Federal Government on two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
