“As you are aware, my contract would be expiring on 31 December 2024 after which I would no longer be eligible for employment within the Bank having served as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of FirstBank for a record time of nine years.”

The ‘other interests’ he cited could be a political career, and waiting till December might cut his ticket. It’s all good.
