The Zamfara State Governor, Bello Mattawalle, has described the comments trailing the decision of the Supreme Court to listen to and act on the demand of the governors on the Naira swap as mere political vendetta.

Matawalle, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media, Zailani Bappa, said he was fully convinced that those against the gov’s action and subsequent triumph at the court were either misguided or blinded by political chauvinism.

Matawalle said, “I and my Kaduna and Kogi states counterparts found it necessary to approach the Supreme Court to save Nigeria’s economy from being plunged into more crisis”.

“Our action will also relieve the excruciating pain the ordinary Nigerian is experiencing in the face of scarcity of both the old and new naira notes”.

“It is common sense to say that the CBN and Commercial banks must make the new Naira notes available for day-to-day business transactions before the old naira notes are declared illegal.”

However, the governor expressed his dismay that due to myopic political rivalry, some political parties and disgruntled politicians were challenging the decision of the apex court which was rightfully taken in the interest of the ordinary Nigerian and the survival of Nigeria’s micro-economy.

“Matawalle believed that the decision of the Supreme Court Judges on this matter was the best way to address the current problem and its impending consequences at the moment.


“At this critical time of our transition, it is only patriotic for all of us to put political considerations aside and address the challenges at hand so that together, we can cross the bridge ahead of us,” he added.

APC. The party of disjointed elements

Either you give those money to EFCC or they expire

Enemy of the masses. Nigeria can burn , they don't care.

We the masses has already deposited our old note to the bank and the bank has deposited it to CBN or this governor want to tell us that the old note with the masses are more than the old note with CBN ?, It's the thief in Lagos that has so many old note and that is why they are bother, if they want the best interest of the masses then they should help us beg CBN to provide New notes for the masses not this even agenda of using Old note along side New Note, so Mr Old cargo Governor the earlier you realise that the old note has already been destroy and can't be brought back and we can't print old note then the better for

When Nigeria was dieing, APC did not fight APC because they were dining together until OBI brought hope to Nigerian's then some ACN members of APC think they can outdo CPC in the race, b4 the merger, CPC has more light in Nigeria than ACN, ACN was only a western party while CPC were spread across the North
