The industrialist added that his refusal to compromise is why he has no relationship with the embattled ex-CBN governor, Godwin Emefeiele.
"In the past five years, I have not collected any credit from the bank, I have not collected credit in Nigeria, no loan. For the past 5 years, I haven’t gotten one dollar in foreign exchange.
"They(CBN) didn’t give me dollars and I don’t want to compromise, that’s why they don’t like me. That is why Godwin Emefiele don't also.
"Central bank of Nigeria can hear me, if they gave me one dollar in the last 5 years, let them call me out.
"I have been sustaining my business from my investements in Angola and other foriegn countries despite having money in my bank account"
He added that while many others were willing, he was not and further explained how the bank's officials did it.
“Then, the exchange rate for dollars was N420, N410, N440. If you want to obtain $1 million, you would have to part with N40, N50, N60, N70 that would not be reflected, and your bank would not be aware of it.
"You simply pay the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and you get it. I said I don't want to engage in that in my own country. It's a significant racket, and everyone is aware of it. Ask the big manufacturers; they know."
