Tinubu has asked the senate to confirm the appointment of Ruby Onwudiwe as South-East representative on the board of directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

 

Senate President Godswill Akpiabio read the letter at plenary on Wednesday, March 13. Tinubu noted that the request for confirmation is in compliance with provisions of Section 10 (1) of the CBN Establishment Act 2007.

 

It read;

 

“I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate, the appointment of Dr Ruby Onwudiwe as a member of the CBN board of directors.

“The Senate is invited to kindly note that Onwudiwe is a replacement for Mr Kalu Eke, due to the unavailability of Eke for the position.

“It is my hope, therefore, that the senate will consider and confirm in its usual expeditious manner, the appointment of Onwudiwe. Please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”

 

Kalu Eke had earlier rejected the nomination, citing “conflict of interest”.

IMO APC WARNS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED SCREENING, MOCK PRIMARIES AND EXTORTION OF ASPIRANTS

The attention of the State Working Committee of our great party has been drawn to a disturbing trend where some individuals within the party are attempting to subject our candidates to unauthorized screening, extortion and mock primaries. This actions are not only undemocratic and unhealthy but contrary to the party’s established guidelines and procedures.

We strongly condemn these nocturnal and clandestine activities, which are deliberately designed to undermine the party’s democratic processes. We warn those individuals involved in this unauthorized exercise to desist immediately, as we will not hesitate to take disciplinary action against anyone caught engaging in such activities, regardless of their position or status within the party.

Our party is committed to upholding the principles of democracy, fairness, and transparency in all our activities. We will not allow any individual or group to compromise these values.

We urge all aspirants and stakeholders to disregard any invitation or solicitation to participate in these unauthorized screening, extortion and mock primaries.

Let’s be guided accordingly!
