Why Tinubu hired Obazee

President Tinubu hired Obazee as a private investigator to investigate the activities of the CBN under Emefiele soon after he was sworn in as president.

Emefiele, ahead of the 2023 general election, introduced new nair notes that further plunged the country into economic uneasement, with many small businesses wiped off and many others dying as they could not access their money.
