President Tinubu has decided to withdraw the nomination of Ruby Onwudiwe as a member of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) board following objections raised by prominent members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The complaints filed were regarding Onwudiwe’s support for Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election, as reported by WesternPost.
Senators Opeyemi Bamidele and Solomon Adeola expressed concerns about the propriety of Onwudiwe’s nomination during a meeting with President Tinubu and Senate President Akpabio.
Also, some key APC supporters raised strong objections to the nomination of an opposition figure to serve in a critical position at the apex bank.
In response to the feedback and protests, President Tinubu is expected to announce a new nominee from the South East region to replace Onwudiwe.
