Heritage Bank Depositors Appeal For Tinubu’s Intervention

Aleke Aleke in Abuja

Depositors of N5m and above in the revoked Heritage Bank have sent a save-our-souls plea to President Ahmed Tinubu to prevail on the Central Bank of Nigeria to provide immediate bailout funds to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) to ensure the swift and full reimbursement of all depositors affected by the liquidation of the bank.

Spokesperson for the depositor, Ibrahim Elisha told re[porters that, “it is glaringly evident that the NDIC lacks the capability to execute this crucial task, even after the full liquidation of the defunct bank’s assets sating that their recent official statement further confirms this reality, seemingly prompted by media reports that exposed the dire situation.

Thee depositors noted that ten months have passed since the liquidation, yet depositors continue to face uncertainty, vain promises, and a glaring lack of financial resolution.

According to them, the NDIC has now openly declared that depositors will be paid on a pro-rata basis—an unacceptable approach that suggests severe funding limitations.

The NDIC has commenced the process of verification and payment to insured depositors, but partial payments are inadequate. Full reimbursement must be prioritized. Delaying this bailout risks crippling public confidence in the Nigerian banking system, triggering widespread distrust in financial institutions, and creating unnecessary hardship for individuals who placed their faith in banking assurances.
Deposit-holders, they said, continued to trust Heritage Bank largely due to the CBN’s assurances of its stability. The abrupt liquidation—without an adequate plan to protect depositors—sets a dangerous precedent and undermines Nigeria’s financial credibility. To safeguard the integrity of Nigeria’s financial sector, prevent further erosion of trust, and reaffirm banking stability, the CBN must act now.

“Time is of the essence, and prolonged inaction will only deepen the crisis and smear the good image of FGN in general and the CBN in particular before the global banking community who is watching this matter with interest. The Presidency and National Assembly must intervene immediately to direct the CBN to mobilize bailout funds for affected depositors, they stated.
