Emefiele Demands N25 Billion As Damages From Akpabio Over ‘Defamatory Remark’
Godwin Emefiele, immediate-pas governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has demanded the sum of N25 billion as damages from Senate President Godswill Akpabio over an alleged defamatory remark.
On Sunday, Akpabio said the allegations against Emefiele are so numerous that the federal government does not know which charges to pin on him.
The senate president also blamed the economic hardship in the country on the policies of the former CBN governor.
In the letter dated February 19 and seen by TheCable on Wednesday, Matthew Burkaa, counsel to Emefiele, said if Akpabio fails to pay the aforementioned sum and tender an apology, the ex-CBN governor would seek “appropriate redress”.
