The Financial institution Prospects Affiliation of Nigeria (BCAN) late Sunday detested in unequivocal phrases the try by some social media commentators and publishers to disparage the picture of the First Metropolis Monument Financial institution (FCMB) within the face of the continuing controversies over alleged extra-marital affairs of the financial institution’s Managing Director, Mr. Adam Nuru, describing the act of the commentators as unjustifiable.
The Nationwide President of the umbrella physique of financial institution prospects in Nigeria, Dr. Uju Ogubunka, in a chat with BRTNews.ng, condemned the continuing efforts of some brokers on social media platforms to denigrate the FCMB model by means of photo-shopped posts that don’t symbolize the beliefs the financial institution had been famous for through the years.
The chartered banker and former Registrar/Chief Govt Officer of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), whereas reacting to enquiries by our correspondent on the alleged infidelity of the financial institution’s chief and raging requires his sack and different points regarding the saga, mentioned many of the calls weren’t logical when analysed throughout the context of professionalism and implications for the monetary system.
In line with him, for the reason that points being raised stay simply allegations there’s want for everybody to attend till investigations promised by the financial institution’s board on the matter are accomplished and the findings made recognized that passing judgment on the embattled Mr. Nuru could be affordable.
He mentioned: “That is, in accordance with you, an allegation. No proper considering particular person depends on allegation to take motion. Maybe, the exception is investigative motion. As per the query on folks calling the CBN to sack the MD, CBN just isn’t the employer of the CEO. So, motion, if there’s any to be taken, just isn’t for the CBN to take.
“Once more on the denigrating postings by some Nigerians or commentators on social media about FCMB, I need to say it isn’t the enterprise of financial institution prospects to take place on points which can be mentioned to be allegations. So, it is going to be honourable for BCAN members to ‘thoughts their enterprise’
“The Nigerian banking business has a Code of Ethics which might situate the problem when or if investigated and outcomes present a breach of the moral code. I recommend that premium shouldn’t be positioned on the unverified and unconfirmed “allegation”. Science and know-how have superior that willpower of paternity can simply be ascertained.
“There isn’t any have to tarnish or harm peoples’ and establishments’ names, based mostly on allegation(s)”, Ogubunka careworn.
Over the previous few days, some social media abusers and commentators have thrown warning to the winds by ‘photo-shopping’ the FCMB brand and inscribing ‘Your spouse and I’ rider on it thereby portraying the financial institution in unhealthy gentle.
Commenting on such acts from a authorized perspective, a authorized practitioner, who spoke on the situation of anonymity, mentioned “all these participating in that sort of act are literally unaware of the regulation.
“In all honesty, such acts are libelous and if the FCMB board and even shareholders determine to take authorized motion in opposition to any of them, together with these sharing such detestable messages by means of their platforms, they’ll all be in deep trouble.
“For God sake, how may anyone descend so low to be tampering with the picture of a authorized particular person all in an try and validate an allegation in opposition to the MD which is but to be legally proved?”, the lawyer queried.
