Niger Delta Agitators have nominated Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele as its candidate to run in the 2023 presidential election.
The group made this known in a statement where the spokesman, General Jack Fibor revealed their position.
Speaking in a video, General Fibor expressed that after due consultations and background checks of several candidates, the Niger Delta Freedom Reserve Force settled for Governor of the Central Bank Of Nigeria, Godwin Ifeanyi Emefiele.
The group said it took the decision because Emefiele has used his office to eradicate poverty, activated so many programs including agriculture and he is not a politician.
Speaking further, Fibor pledged that if Emefiele is elected as president, the group is ready to surrender their arms and stop illegal bunkering in the Niger Delta region.
For the past few months, it has been rumoured that Godwin Emefiele would be joining the growing list of candidates for 2023 presidential election.
While Emefiele is yet to officially declare any intention to contest the presidency, campaign posters and vehicles branded with his name and put up by groups rallying to persuade the CBN governor to run, had been sighted in some parts of the country.
These groups had gone ahead to print campaign materials of all sorts in persuasion of Dr. Godwin Emefiele to listen to their voice. These campaigns have nothing to do with the CBN governor in person.
Amid all these, the CBN Governor has had nothing to do with the campaigns aimed at dragging him into the race for the exalted seat of the presidency in the 2023 poll.
Groups rallying for the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele to vie for president seat in the 2023 general election, in another report, have said they would not give up until he responds to persuasions of him to run.
