Allegations Surrounding the Next CBN Governor
A spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Daniel Bwala, has made allegations concerning the appointment of the next Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to him, the appointee must not be a member of any political party, have a family member affiliated with any political party, or be under investigation or prosecution by any law enforcement agency.
