Nigerians have expressed anger after Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele swiftly reacted to a negative publication about him and still keep mum on Supreme Court’s judgement nullifying his Naira redesign policy.

Emefiele has refused to obey the apex court’s judgement 10 days after it came, as he has refused to direct the banks to release and accept N500 and N1000 notes from Nigerians.

The hunger in the land has increased, but no word has emanated from Emefiele.

But a publication alleged on Monday that Emefiele gave the sum of N500 million in new currency notes to support the candidate of Labour Party in Lagos Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour ahead of the March 18 governorship election.

In a swift reaction, Emefiele denied the allegation, saying the story was simply fake news, saying he does not take part in politics.

But Nigerians on social media attacked Emefiele for reacting swiftly to that story and refused to speak on the Supreme Court’s judgement.

According to Abike_grey, “God will punish cbn governor, you people are quick to debunk fake news but can’t find a solution to this hardships, the almighty GOD that created heaven n earth will destroy u people, d cries n sufferings of Nigerians will destroy n haunt y’all souls, d spirits of all d people we lost will haunt u people, d soul of my uncle that died this morning will not make u people know peace.”

Sheedo005 stated: “Is this a stupid strategy to take our minds away from what’s important to us? This is not what we want to hear or care to know, give us update about the old naira notes if y’all in charge don’t want to start burying ur children one by one!!!
