A group, Northern Youth in Progress (NYIP) based in Dutse, Jigawa state has thrown its weight behind the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele to come and contest for President of Nigeria in 2023.
A statement on Sunday by NYIP National Coordinator, Adamu Isah Bello said based on analysis and criteria, Emefiele is the best choice for president come 2023.
The statement added that, “Emefiele is one of the best CBN Governor Nigeria has ever produced, he has vast experience in economic transformation, human development as well as various agricultural programmes for Nigerians.
Continuing, “Emefiele is a strong pillar in President Mohammadu Buhari’s administration. During Covid-19 economic recession, the CBN Governor came out with money lending programmes aimed at cushioning effects for Nigerians”.
According to the group, various agricultural programmes were brought by the CBN Governor to Nigerian farmers, such as Ancho-Borrower, Cluster farming as well as other programmes related to dry season farming.
“The loans given to dry season Rice and Wheat farmers Associations has yielded positive result. A greater percentage of these people have benefited immensely and today many of them are thankful to the CBN Governor”.
He therefore urged Nigerians, especially the Northern youths to respect the gentleman agreement on rotational presidency, saying it will foster unity and peaceful co-existance among Nigerians.
