The Bureau of Social Justice Equity and Transparency has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to make a fresh nomination for the position of a deputy governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The group said the new CBN deputy governor, Aishah Ahmad is not in any way qualified for the job.
The group’s executive director, Mary Ogwiji, said injustice is about to be institutionalized in the system.
Ogwiji said the appointment of Ahmad amidst all this numerous other qualified alternatives is pathetic especially at a time when the country is in dire need of credible technocrats in critical sector of the economy.
Ogwiji said: “We are to state here that Aishah Ahmad does not meet the minimum requirement stipulated for such appointment hence her hurried promotion to the post of executive director at diamond bank in a space of days upon the anticipation that she would be considered for further appointment as deputy governor of the central bank of Nigeria.
“This sort of conspiracy against the positive economic trajectory of the nation smirks of mischief, callousness and is retrogressive. This country under President Muhammadu Buhari administration cannot be left in the hands of internal saboteurs parading and masquerading as supporters of the president.
She said: “We are aware that Mr.President was not properly briefed on the qualification or otherwise of Ms Aisha Ahmad. We are also aware that Mr President was not properly briefed on the availability of more qualified candidates.
“We are also aware that Mr President was wrongly and deliberately misled so as to achieve the first and most important point of internal sabotage which are all saboteurs in government seek to achieve.
