Nigeria’s leading digital bank, Wema Bank Plc has faulted call for the sack of Ademola Adebise, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Wema Bank faulted the call in a statement on Saturday while reassuring its stakeholders that it continues to operate with best-in-class governance processes.
Recall that Transparency Nigeria Group had asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to remove Adebise.
However, the bank faulted the premise on which the non-governmental organisation call for the removal of its Managing Director/CEO, describing the call as baseless.
Wema Bank emphasized that it has no political ties and that the bank is not an agent, allies or proxy of any polician in Nigeria.
The bank reassured its customers and stakeholders that it has and would continue to operate with the highest level of corporate governance, following all rules, policies, and procedures.
“We have no links to any political party and neither are we agents, allies or proxies of any politicians in the country. We are a financial institution solely committed to financial intermediation to enable and fast track the socio-economic development of the country,” the bank said.
The statement further explains that Wema Bank’s observance and strict adherence to due diligence and extant rules and regulations is why it is the oldest surviving indigenous bank in Nigeria.
