A Tale of Two Central Bank Governors reveals that one, upon being the apex Bank governor, developed a desire to join politics and be head of the Government of his country. At the end of his tenure, it turned out that mass corruption and mindless illicit acquisition characterised his activities at the apex bank. Today, he is having his day in many courts!
I am talking of Nigeria’s Emefiele.
The other is the first and so far the only one to be the Governor of two separate countries’ Central Banks.
He was Governor of the Bank of Canada and after that, Governor of the Bank of England even though he is a Canadian. No such history of any individual heading such exists.
He did well on both.
After his separate tenures, not even whispers of malfeasance were heard. Today, he is the Prime Minister of Canada.
Someone said Britain should colonise us again. Now, we are concluding we cannot govern.
I have been here long and I am enjoying the boldness and the advocacy.
Recap:
One Central Bank Governor who wanted to join politics and be president of his country, is in all the Courts, forfeiting properties and standing criminal trials. Another was Governor of not one central Bank, but two great countries’ central Banks and nothing of the Emefiele-type is associated with him.
Let’s amend the Law to ensure only an Angel will be a CBN Governor so that he can be like Mark Carney since Mark Carney is not a human being but an angel; or how do we explain his running Bank of Canada and Bank of England without blemish (enough or at all) as to transit to Prime Ministership while ours transit to Prison precincts.
