Adams Oshiomhole, a former National Chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, has kicked against President Muhammadu Buhari’s
decision on the naira redesign policy.
Oshiomhole, who said Buhari is on his own following his
recent comment on the naira redesign policy last Thursday, also insisted that
Godwin Emefiele, the Central Bank Governor, will expire after Saturday’s
presidential election.
The former Edo State governor, who stated this at Jattu
market in Auchi, Edo North, also urged Buhari to obey the Supreme Court verdict
on the naira notes.
Speaking in pidgin, Oshiomhole said: “All this wahala wey
Buhari put for currency change, my hand no dey inside. Our party don tell
Buhari, wait if you wan change currency, you shouldn’t change am during
election. Wetin you no change during your time, you wan make am spoil another
pesin time, e no good.
“He has to obey the Supreme Court. Supreme Court judgement
is superior to the pronouncement of the president. That’s the Nigerian law. I
disassociate myself.”
He continued: “Nah them choose ham. If they 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. 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.”
He added: “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.”
The 2023 presidential election will take place on Saturday.
