You Don’t Punish A Man Unjustly – Buhari Defends Emefiele
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians why he refused to act on speculation about the presidential ambition of Godwin Emefiele, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“I met Enefiele in office when I came and unless there were firm evidence against him, it would be unfair and an act of injustice to remove him, acting on hearsay. When he was linked with the campaign for the 2023 presidency, I did not ask him, because he told nobody he was getting involved. 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”, he said.
Buhari made these known in a memoir titled “Working With Buhari: Reflections Of A Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015-2023)”, written by Femi Adesina, former Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity.
Launched in Abuja, on Tuesday, the book also put up the former President’s defence of the Naira redesign policy, saying it helped the country achieve a clean general election in 2023.
Buhari maintained that those who had a problem with the policy were individuals, who had too much money.
