The Central Issue: Why is Zenith Bank so deeply entrenched in the manipulations of Nigeria’s politics?

In the state of Akwa Ibom, Governor Akpabio summarily dismissed Mr. Umana Okon Umana and replaced him with Mr. Udom Emmanuel as the SSG of Akwa Ibom.  Mr. Udom Emmanuel was an officer of Zenith Bank.  Currently, Emmanuel is the governor of Akwa Ibom state.
President Goodluck Jonathan summarily dismissed Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and replaced him with Mr. Godwin Emefiele.  Emefiele was an officer of Zenith Bank.
It is impossible for people to steal trillions of naira of public funds and transfer the funds to foreign accounts without the blessings of the Central Bank of Nigeria.  It is not, therefore, a chance occurrence that the Central Bank of Nigeria is waging an underground war to discredit President Buhari and his administration, economically.
Recently, it surfaced that Zenith Bank funded the gubernatorial campaign of Dr. Ayo Fayose in Ekiti.
For every step forward, we take two backward.  How can we progress when the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Supreme Court of Nigeria are political wings?  We cannot successfully fight corruption with Mr. Godwin Emefiele as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.  It is foolhardy to allow banking entities to dictate our political future.
