The Presidency has said many approvals for the release of funds within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under Godwin Emefiele did not have the signature of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking in a televised interview, Special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on media and publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said the last administration has to take some responsibilities for some of the things that happened in the Apex Bank under Emefiele.
Ngelale said that while Buhari had achievements in other areas such as infrastructure and ease of doing business, his negligence in what was happening in the CBN brought the economy to where it is today.
Ngelale cited the $6.2m that was said to have released in cash by the CBN allegedly for the purpose of taking care of foreign election observers as one of those approvals that had Buhari’s signature which turned out to have been allegedly forged.
