Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo has taken Ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State to the cleaners for accusing him of enriching two banks with N8billion: “This debate has only begun. Ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole made the point about exchange rate and exchange allocation to two banks. I want to say for the record that Adams Oshiomhole has lied. I didn’t say he misquoted anything; he has lied.”

“At the time, banks were bidding for forex two to three times weekly, and only the successful banks at each of the bids were allocated forex, I was not even part of the bid as there was a committee for the purpose.”

“Every bid produced a different exchange rate and there were different winners at every bid. We didn’t do devaluation as the case may be; we had the currency depreciating as the market determined day to day. With all due respect, I think if you Oshiomole don’t know what to say, sir, just don’t get into this kind of personal allegation.”
