Redesigned Notes: Where Were You When Fed Govt. Hid Palliatives? – Singer, Paul Okoye Slams Nigerian Senate

Paul Okoye of the P-Square Entertainer group, has slammed the Nigerian senate for merely pretending to be spokemen for the masses regarding the deadline for the old Naira notes as stated by Central Bank Of Nigeria, CBN.

The Nigerian Senate had last Tuesday asked the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN to extend the deadline for the exchange of old naira notes to the newly redesigned notes from 31st of January deadline to 31st of May, 2023.

Also, upper chamber men called on the CBN to open an exchange window where people that don’t have bank accounts can deposit their old naira notes.

However, dragging the Nigerian Senate in a post via the singer’s Instagram handle today, Sunday, Okoye claimed that the federal lawmakers wouldn’t have said anything about the CBN decision if the situation didn’t affect them too.

He also made reference to the pandemic era saying, “During pandemic, people were hungry, where was the senate when the palliative were discovered? Same government were(sic) hiding food for their citizens, they were silent and dumb because it doesn’t affect them.

“Now with the CBN naira redesign they became spokemen for the poor cos it affects them. Imagine there was no election. Aswear they won’t say pim!!”
