This is amid calls by those who are said to be his supporters that he should enter for the nation’s topmost office in 2023.

Hundreds of such supporters had thronged the APC convention a week ago and openly campaigned for the CBN boss to be elected Nigeria’s next president.

Only yesterday, photographs of campaign vehicles branded with Emefiele’s image flooded the social media.

But Emefiele has not declared to run for the presidency in 2023, making it unclear who was responsible for the campaign vehicles.

The socio-political activist said those he described as ‘a fifth columnist,’ is behind the campaign for Emefiele.

“It has come to my knowledge that those vehicles purportedly for the campaign of Emefiele are a red herring by a fifth columnist.
