Mohammed said that Emefiele had not stated or indicated in any way that he was interested in vying for the position of president.
He said that rather Emefiele remained solely focused on ensuring monetary and price stability, maintaining external reserves, providing economic and financial advice to the Federal Government, and promoting a sound financial system in Nigeria.

“He also unveiled the Mega Rice and Maize Pyramids in the FCT and Kaduna recently, both being results of the massively successful Emefiele-led Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP).
“The program has financed over four million farmers, improved their productivity, increased rice output, reduced Agriculture imports, and saved the country’s scarce forex.”
Mohammed said that Emefiele’s numerous past feats needed not to be mentioned as they were well-documented and known even to his distractors.
He said that in spite of the attempts by some people to create confusion and distract Emefiele and the CBN, Nigeria’s GDP was on the rise following its 3.4 percent growth in 2021, the fastest growth rate in seven years.
“This is contrary to the claim by the CSOs that Mr. Emefiele’s “subterranean interest” in the presidency has become a massive distraction to the CBN and the financial sector of the country,” he said.
