However, the alleged move by the boss of the apex bank met a brick wall as Nigerians mounted opposition and demanded his removal from his current office.
In a twist of event, civil society organizations hdragged Emefiele to court asking the court for his removal from office.

The tweet had so far attracted over 892 retweets and 31Quote tweets.
Meanwhile, a Student body, under the aegis of the National Association of Ora-Igbomina students, Osun State, has frowned at the planned visit of Governor Oyetola to Ora-Igbomina town, Ifedayo Local Government Area of the state.
In a press release issued on Thursday by the president and general secretary of the association, Adedapo Taiwo and Adewumi Boluwatife respectively, the student body bemoaned the poor state of roads in their community, stating that Governor Oyetola should not bother coming to the area to campaign ahead of the July election in the state if the roads were not fixed.
Road neglected
The statement partly read, “The student body frown at the political leaders in the town who have; refused to speak truth to power. Our leaders only run after their pockets at the expense of the poor masses of Ora-Igbomina.
“The status quo of Ila-Ora road is nothing to write home about, as the road has been; neglected for almost 12 years, thereby, causing accidents for the passersby who are majorly from Ora-Igbomina. We expect our leaders to have written to the state government and act; accordingly as regards the state of the road, instead, they are busy praising the ego of the governor for their selfish benefits.”
