Emefiele’s Naira Policy Has Dropped Out APC Rating Drastically – Ondo State Governor, Akeredolu Lament

 

The Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has knocked the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, saying he (Emefiele) planned to disrupt the 2023 general elections.

 Governor Akeredolu said Emefiele is not fit to head the apex bank.

Akeredolu explained that the CBN governor ought to have been booted from office when he showed interest in contesting for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

This was made known by the governor while receiving members of the Youth Directorate of the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, of the APC led by Seyi Tinubu.

The governor who affirmed that the rating of the APC drastically dropped with the naira and fuel shortages in the country, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct Emefiele to reverse the naira redesign policy now, adding that the new and old notes should be allowed to co-exist.

He said despite an existing court injunction, the old notes seem to have ceased to be legal tender in the country.

“We have a problem we are facing in this country today. Our rating as a party is not that favourable. Let’s not deceive ourselves. Must it be now that we will have this financial policy?

“Okada, taxis, banks are not taking old notes again. There is an injunction, and everyone is behaving like there is no injunction,” he said.
