The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, for the 2023 general election, Dumebi kachikwu, has called on President Tinubu to beam his searchlight and order for a comprehensive forensic audit into the activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Central Bank of Nigeria. The former presidential candidate made this call during a democracy day broadcast yesterday, Monday, saying such a probe will not only uncover rot in these three critical sectors of the nation's economy but also will give headway to the president to reposition the nation’s economy for the betterment of the nation ahead of the challenge that has left the country in bad shape.
Although, kachikwu hailed the president for summoning the courage the removal of the hydra-headed petroleum subsidy that has held the country hostage, however, faulted the knee-jack in the approach that have failed to put palliative in place that cushion its effect on citizens.
The ADC chieftain said, “Our President must immediately investigate the activities of our CBN governor, the most political CBN governor we’ve had in the history of Nigeria. “The pillars of the economy today are the CBN, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, and the Nigeria Customs Service. Every other sphere of our economy derives from these pillars but they are the most corrupt pillars of our society. If the President has started working on the CBN, he must at the same time, spread his tentacles to the NNPCL and the customs.”
