The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Senator Abdulahi Adamu and the governors of the party have called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to obey the Supreme Court order on Naira redesign
policy.
The Supreme Court had temporarily restrained the federal
government from banning the use of the old naira notes from February 10.
It gave the order while ruling on an ex parte application
filed by the governments of Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara.
Rather than obey the court injunction, Buhari made a
nationwide broadcast directing the CBN to make available the old N200 notes for
the next 60 days, which elapses on April 10.
But the governors of the party who had openly expressed
their disappointment against the policy kicked against the directive by the
president.
It was based on this that Adamu summoned the governors of
the party to an emergency meeting on Sunday.
Reading the resolution of the meeting, Adamu said the naira
redesign policy was hurting Nigerians and the country’s economy and called on
Buhari to intervene.
He said: “I’m sure you are quite aware of the fact that a
meeting comprising of APC governors was held today and the leadership of the
NWC of our great party was summoned for this afternoon and we had discussion.
“And at the end of the discussion, we have resolved as
follows and this resolution is without prejudice or whatsoever to the case that
is lying at the Supreme Court at this point in time. This has to do with the
issue of currency redesign.
“We note very seriously that the programme and its
implementation is causing tremendous difficulties to the people of Nigeria and
to the national economy.
“That we urge the Attorney General of the Federation,
(Abubakar Malami) and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria to respect
the supreme court order of Interim injunction which is still subsisting
“That the meeting is urging his Excellency, Mr President to
intervene in resolving issues that are causing this great difficulties to the
economy.”
Asked if the governors and the party are now on the same
page, Adamu answered in affirmative, saying the governors forum, and the NWC of
the party are on the same page.
The meeting had in attendance Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna
state, Mohammed Bello (Niger), Abdulahi sule (Nasarwa), Yahaya Bello (Kogi),
Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe), Bello Matawalle (Zamfara) Mai Mala Buni (Yobe), Abubakar
Badaru (Jigawa), Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti), Simon Lalong (Plateau) Deputy
governor of Imo state, Placid Njoku, and Mohammed Yakubu, Deputy Governor of
Katsina State.
