Tinubu not considering me as CBN governor – Elumelu

Chairman of UBA Group and Heirs Holdings Tony Elumelu has debunked the claim that President Bola Tinubu is considering him as the substantive governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

A member of the All Progressives Congress and supporter of former President Muhammadu Buhari, Imran Muhammad, had written in a post on X on June 12 that according to a source, “President Tinubu is also considering Tony O. Elumelu as CBN governor.”

Reacting to the post on Friday, Mr Elumelu said it was false news.

“LOL. No, please. This is false news!” he wrote.
