VIDEO: Don’t Throw Your Old Naira Notes Away, Emefiele Will Expire On Saturday – Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole, a former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), publicly disavowed the new naira policy promoted by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters at Jattu market in Auchi Edo North, Oshiomhole unequivocally stated that he did not support the naira redesign policy and that President Buhari was acting alone in its implementation.

Oshiomhole revealed that he and other party leaders had cautioned the President against proceeding with the naira swap policy, but their advice went unheeded.

The furthermore criticized Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), for executing the policy, which has resulted in hardships for Nigerians.

The former Governor of Edo State advised his audience not to dispose of their old naira notes and reminded them that both Buhari and Emefiele would no longer hold office after the February 25 presidential election.

He cited the Supreme Court ruling that prevented the government from enforcing the February 10 deadline for the validity of the old naira notes as a reason for Nigerians to hold onto their money.

Oshiomhole argued that Buhari should abide by the decision of the Supreme Court, as it takes precedence over his directive on the policy.

He also raised concerns about the timing of the policy, questioning why Buhari did not implement it before his 2019 re-election campaign and why he was now attempting to impede another person’s election with such a policy.

Speaking in pidgin English, he said:

“All this wahala wey Buhari put for currency change, my hand no dey inside. Our party don tell Buhari, wait if you want change currency, you should not change ham during election. Wetin you no change during your time, you wan make ham spoil another pesin time, e no good. At this point, nah only God we go dey fear.

“He has to obey the Supreme Court. Supreme Court judgement is superior to the pronouncement of the president. That is the Nigerian law. Under Nigerian Democracy, the Supreme Court once it pronounced, the president must obey. Because every where I go, I disassociate myself. Because the truth is, the money in your hand, no be you print ham. The colour wey e wear. No be you choose ham.

“Nah them choose ham. If the say dey want to change it, make them give you the new ones. Now they want to remove the old ones, they no give you the new ones. So if you have the old money, don’t throw it away. On this matter, President Buhari is on his own. Your Naira will remain valid according to the Supreme Court. Don’t throw away your Naira, keep it.

“By the time you finish voting on Saturday, Emefiele the Central Bank Governor, will expire. Your money will not expire. But the president will expire,” he added.
