A coalition, made up of Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and Lawyers in Defence of Human Rights has alerted the public of a grand plan to stage disruptive protest at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) headquarters and offices a cross the country to derail the federal government’s new cash policies and oust, Godwin Emefiele, the bank’s governor.
The coalition in a statement signed by its Convener, Tochukwu Ohazuruike after a gathering in Abuja on Monday, insisted that the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) Yusuf Bichi must be sacked, arrested and prosecuted over his failed plot to undermine President Buhari and frame Emefiele for terrorism.
The coalition also raised alarm over fresh plot to launch coordinated attack and smear campaigns against the CBN governor and the President Buhari backed policies of cash withdrawal limit and currency redesign by pro-DSS sponsored groups.
The statement reads:”Despite being defeated by last week’s court ruling, they want to yet again come up with plan to fabricate another allegation to help them arrest the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, force him to resign to pave way for appointment of a DSS stooge as Acting CBN Governor despite numerous judgments from courts of competent jurisdiction.
The DSS are backed by unscrupulous politicians bent on rigging the election. We once again call on the culprits to desist from their evil plot and support president’s Buhari’s credible elections and handover agenda. We won’t tolerate any plot to undermine Buhari’s peaceful transition plan.”
