Phyna hails President Tinubu for dismissing Emefiele

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna has reacted to some of the policies and activities by President Bola Tinubu since he assumed office on Monday, May 29.

The reality star, who was on a promotional tour to Ghana early this week highlighted some of the positive policies by the incoming administration.

In an exclusive chat with MyNigeria, Phyna noted that as much as she wasn't a fan of the removal of the fuel subsidy that inflated the prices of fuel nationwide, she applauded the dismissal of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.

"I didn't like the first day when he entered the office and we heard a liter of fuel is now how much? I didn't like it...But the other suspension and the other one, that one sweet me. Like I feel he is going to focus on the corrupt people."

"So if he can do that for us, at least he will now reduce the corrupt people. Maybe we would now know that he is the only one remaining. At least we know, we are fighting only one person."

The suspended Emefiele has spent his sixth day in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) with the secret police keeping mum over whether he will be charged to court or not.

Emefiele was arrested by the DSS last Friday evening shortly after he was suspended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

On Saturday, DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, confirmed Emefiele was in their custody for investigative reasons.

Though he did not state the reasons, it was gathered Emefiele’s travails had to do with allegations of terrorism and financial impropriety at the apex bank.
