Shonubi Was Appointed Acting CBN Governor Because He Is Yoruba – Deji Adeyanju 

Social media critic, Deji Adeyanju has criticised the choice of Shonubi as Acting CBN Gov.

In a series of tweet, he questioned the qualification criteria of the Ag CBN Gov, stating that his preference was based on his tribe.

While I commend President Bola Tinubu for suspending Emefiele, I am highly disappointed that he has appointed Shonubi, a mechanical engineer as Acting Governor of the Apex bank. Kenya just appointed an Economist with PhD. as it’s CBN Gov. Turkey has also recently done same. While we are still saying the FG must stop appointing bankers as CBN Governor because they know nothing about fiscal policies or how to run an economy, the new president goes to appoint a mechanical engineer as Acting CBN Governor. This is why nations fail.

I do not criticize for criticism sake. Our economy is so bad that we need the very best hands to be in charge not all these trial by error folks. The next CBN Gov should be a sound economist. The KENYA 🇰🇪 CBN GOV is a sound economist with a PhD + 15yrs IMF experience.

The only reason why that guy was named acting is because he is Yoruba. A mechanical engineer should not even be in CBN or working in a bank in the first place but this is Nigeria where all things are possible.

Next CBN GOV should be an economist. 
Next CBN GOV should be an economist. 
Next CBN GOV should be an economist. 

Stop appointing bankers as CBN Governors. They know nothing about fiscal policies or the economy. They are mostly marketers.

All the other Deputy Governors in CBN are his seniors and more qualified than him but he was picked as Acting. I insist that the only reason he was picked is because of tribalism.

The thing I will never be part of in this life is religious bigotry and tribalism. I hate it with so much passion.
