Question Emefiele and even accuse him, but let him have the chance to defend himself – Reno Omokri tells Tinubu
Reno Omokri has issued a warning to President Bola Tinubu, advising against the imprisonment of the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, without granting him a fair opportunity to defend himself.
Omokri emphasized the importance of affording Emefiele the chance to address any allegations leveled against him and urged Tinubu not to repeat the error made by former President Muhammadu Buhari, who detained officials from the previous administration without granting them a fair chance to present their defense.
He shared this in a tweet. According to him; ”Where is Godwin Emefiele? The Tinubu administration should not lock him up and begin to make public allegations against him. This is precisely what Buhari did to Jonathan administration officials as soon as he took over in 2015.
“They were locked up, and while incarcerated, allegations were made to turn the public against them, without giving them an opportunity to defend themselves.
“We had hoped those dark days were behind us. Question Emefiele and even accuse him, but let him have the chance to defend himself against these rumours and innuendo.
“Where is he? Under what legal order is he being held? Let Nigerians hear from him. Having begun so well, President Tinubu should not continue the draconian practices as his immediate predecessor. This is similar to what Abacha did, which drove even Tinubu to exile in 1994.”
