The newly confirmed Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Olayemi Cardoso has vowed that he and his team would not be hijacked by anyone, including politicians.
According to him, the effect of hijack and not doing right has been seen already and they do not intend for it to happen again.
The CBN Governor gave the assurance on Tuesday when he appeared alongside his deputies for screening by the Senate.
The deputy governors include Emem Nnana Usoro, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Dattijo, Philip Ikeazor, and Dr. Bala M. Bello.
Answering a question from Senate President Godswill Akpabio during his screening on whether he would be influenced and hijacked by politicians when he assumed office, Cardoso promised that such won’t happen.
In his words, “It is important that we, who are considered for this position today, understand that this is a position of trust.
“With that comes a huge responsibility to meet up with that trust. I know that a lot of time and effort has gone into choosing the people who are standing here for nomination today.
“As far as I am concerned, under my leadership, we will not be hijacked by anybody. The idea is to ensure that we do what is right, when it is right, and how it is right. We’ve seen what the effect of not doing right has been, and we do not intend for that to be repeated.”

This week, those remarks took on a more serious tone following the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/justin-trudeau-resignation-what-happens-next" target="_self">resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau</a> as leader of the Liberal Party.</p><p>In response, politicians across Canada, including Quebec Premier François Legault, have expressed strong opposition to the idea of closer integration with our southern neighbours.</p><p>On Wednesday, January 8, before meeting with other provincial leaders, Legault issued a detailed statement addressing Trump's most recent remarks.</p><p>"President-elect Donald Trump's comments about Canada, the Panama Canal and Greenland must be taken seriously," the premier wrote in a lengthy social media post. "There is obviously no question of Canada becoming the 51st American state, but Mr. Trump will use every opportunity at his disposal to increase his leverage."</p><blockquote class="rm-embed twitter-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1877065958545908105">

Reflecting on his chat with the 78-year-old president-to-be, Legault explained steps his government has taken to improve surveillance.</p><p>"As for border security, Donald Trump raised this issue with me in Paris, and it is a concern that we share. On November 19, I instructed the Department of Public Safety to begin active surveillance of our territory," he added. "Since then, the SQ has been patrolling the border with the United States. We are also in contact with the RCMP, Immigration Canada and the American authorities."</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DDTAJGORosO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
