Following
the recent nomination of Mrs. Aisha Ahmad as a Deputy Governor Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), the people of Bida Council in Niger State, comprising civil
societies and youth organisation, have jointly called on President Muhammadu
Buhari and Senate President Bukola Saraki to investigate and possibly reversed
the nomination of Mrs. Ahmad as Deputy Governor of CBN in the interests of
peace and the banking sector.
In separate
protests and petitions against her nomination signed by Abdullahi T. Garba
India, Chairman of the state chapter of the Buhari Youth Organisation, Chidi
Nwankwo Smudgy and Idris Abdullahi, Chairman Youth Solidarity Forum, the groups
condemned Ahmad’s nomination for the position to fill the vacancy for North
Central Zone, which they said has been allocated to Niger State.
According to
the statements, their reason for rejecting her nomination is based on the fact
that, “She is not the most competent person to represent our state, which has
many seasoned and experienced persons who served in both commercial banks and
CBN, neither is she the most qualified female, if gender was a criterion.
