• CBN governor refutes rumours of beef with finance minister
There’s a certain beauty in discord for the mischievous. The melody of strife and infinite loathing bespeak a dark, wild lust for conflict. This explains the recurrent strife afflicting men and women in high offices, whenever they catch the fancy of minstrels of hate and conflict.
As you read, makers of mischief are sowing seeds of discord between Godwin Emefiele and Kemi Adeosun. The Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigeria’s Finance Minister respectively, are caught in the web of men and women who would love to see them engage in a war of will and frantic ego.
To counter their devious exploits Emefiele and Adeosun would rather engage in a desperate dance to the gallery. Contrary to reports of alleged conflict between them, Emefiele recently claimed that there is no discord between him and Kemi Adeosun. It would be recalled that Adeosun in September, said the fiscal authorities were in need of low interest rates, to reduce the cost of borrowing.
However, contrary to Adeosun’s request, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the CBN held interest rates at 14 percent, thus indicating disunity between fiscal and monetary authorities. But in a swift response to rumours of strife between them, Adeosun and Emefiele say there is no such disharmony, their offices are working to achieve the same goal of driving growth.
