Twitter has been agog of recent with allegations and counter allegations of alleged financial crimes by the senior echelon of the Central Bank of Nigeria. This is all a fallout of the ongoing investigations by the DSS and a special investigator to probe the CBN under Godwin Emefiele as ordered by President Tinubu. Obviously this will mean deep probe into most if not all activites as carried out by the officials of the bank in the regular course of their work. What I however find most intriguing is the smear campaigns. It would seem we humans are our own worst enemy! Social media armies have now taken over the blogosphere with claims and counter claims. Firstly, when the DG Economic policy, Kingsley Obiora was detained for investigation an army in his defence began to claim as the only Economist on the team his detention was tribal ..afterall as they claimed the other Deputy Governors were less qualified as if this also absolves him or them of any infractions! It has now become a game of who can whip up the most sentiment from the court of public opinion. Characteristically, the less discerning take all information hook, line and sinker, when infact what is happening is an adherence to a presidential order to INVESTIGATE the bank as a whole.
The most recent obviously sponsored tweets to tarnish DG Aishah Ahmad, the youngest and only female DG would be shocking if it wasn’t so false…Aishah Ahmad, a well educated, renowned and reputable banker of sound pedigree has only been known for her professionalism from many years leading several institutions...why would leading at the Central bank be any different. It is the guilty that are fighting so hard to divert attention from themselves that are afraid! Treat this smear campaign as the falsity that it is. Let the authorities do their work. #stoptheliesaboutAishah
