Nigerian central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele denied that he has decided to enter the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ruling party spokesman Joseph Morka on Friday said Emefiele had acquired a form, permitting him to compete to become the All Progressive Congress’s presidential candidate. In a series of tweets on Saturday, however, the central banker said this was done on his behalf and that he has not yet made a decision about whether to try to succeed Buhari, who can’t run again after serving two terms.
“This is a serious decision that requires God’s divine intervention: in the next few days The Almighty will so direct,” he said on Twitter.
