The Presidency has dismissed a viral media report claiming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asked Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, to resign.
Some online media outlets on Tuesday published reports of the purported presidential directive to Cardoso, quoting some unnamed Presidency sources.

However, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, reacting to the report on his verified X handle, @aonanuga1956, described the report as “all lies”.
The report had alleged that President Tinubu ordered Cardoso to resign due to his inability to revive the naira and address the country’s economic challenges.
However, Onanuga’s statement contradicts this claim, emphasising that President Tinubu has not requested Cardoso’s resignation.
“It’s all lies. President Tinubu has not asked Yemi Cardoso to resign,” Onanuga said.
