A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and former governor of Ondo State, Bode George, during the military regime, has opened up on how chief executive officers in the banking industry such as the former CEO of Access Bank, late Herbert Wigwe; Tony Elumelu, chairman of United Bank for Africa, UBA as well as Godwin Emefiele, the ousted governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, allegedly amassed wealth through crooked means.
Bode George provided insights into their wealth in a video which resurfaced following the tragic death of Herbert Wigwe, who died in a helicopter crash alongside his wife and first son.
In the video shared on Television Continental, TVC’s YouTube’s page, George claimed that the deceased had skeletons in his cupboard
In the viral video, Bode George, a former head of Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA said, “How can an MD….. who the heck if Emefiele, Elumelu, what did he do? Where is the factory? He was a bank man somehow got license at the same time with Adeola, all of them are stupendously wealthy now.”
He criticized Wigwe, who, after becoming MD, established a university and audaciously advertises it on CNN as Wigwe University, personally founded by him.
“For Wigwe who became MD of Access Bank has now established a university. He has the temerity to be advertising the university on CNN, Wigwe University, personally established by him. Where is his factory? Access Bank! What is the practice?” he asked.
“They release dollars to them on monthly basis, but they personally use the dollars. If it is one to hundred, they will get it through the mallam to one to two hundred. And you say that is profit, what do they do with it?” he further queried.
“What they have done to this nation, they must all be invited for discussions because the rottenness started from them and it has been going on for years but it has exploded.”
Regarding Emefiele providing loans to multiple individuals like Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, he said, “Have you ever seen any Central Bank of any country giving personal loan to individuals? Are we mad? You turned the Central Bank to a commercial bank, the central bank that is meant for fiscal and monetary policy, and he had the temerity to say he wants to contest for president because he has stolen so much money.”
