The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has threatened to issue warrant of arrest against the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, if he fails to appear next Tuesday.
Femi Gbajabiamila’s threat was in response to another letter from the Central Bank, intimating the House of his inability to honour the invitation sent on the latest cashless policy.
In a statement read on the floor of the House today (Thursday), the Speaker said he would not hesitate to invoke relevant sections of the Constitution to force the CBN Governor’s appearance.
Recall that the CBN Governor has been shunning invitation from different quarters on issues relating to the deadline by the apex bank on deadline for phasing old N200, N500 and N1000 notes out of circulation.
