New Naira: Buhari Cannot Overrule A Supreme Court Order – Ozekhome by salesbloo: 7:49am On Feb 17, 2023
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mike Ozekhome, has said it is wrong for the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to disobey the Supreme Court order on the old naira notes.

The apex court had in an interim order restrained the Federal Government from suspending the acceptance of the old naira notes.

But in a statement on Friday, Ozekhome described the order by the President as a ‘dicta, more in the form of a military Decree’.

The statement partly read, “Buhari, in his broadcast on Thursday, February 16, 2023, unilaterally varied the apex court’s extant order of maintenance of status quo, by directing the CBN Governor to the effect that ‘the old N200 banknotes be released back into circulation…to circulate as legal tender with the new N200, N500 and N1000 bank notes for 60 days…’


The President then issued a dicta, more in the form of a military Decree, that, ‘in line with section 20 (3) of the CBN Act, 2007, all existing old N1000 and N500 notes remain redeemable at the CBN and designated prints’.

“This order is a clear violation of and disobedience to the existing order of the apex court which had already maintained the status quo ante bellum of all parties involved in the Naira re-design dispute.

“The Supreme Court had on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, after the first interim order, adjourned the suit originally filed by the Attorneys-General of Kano, Kogi and Zamfara states (other interested parties were later joined) to February 22, to enable it hear the entire matter holistically.”

Nigerians, why we need to vote for and have a sane president is that a Nigerian president can afford to flout court orders without consequences.

Vote for a man with conscience because injustice has a way of affecting everyone; no one is speared, no matter how highly placed you may be. Vote for Peter Greg Obi!

Just sit there and keep saying same thing like old record.

Did it start today?

Onogben or something, when he removed him against normal proceeding, you guys thought it was joke? Despite Falana saying he can't do it.

This shege must go round.

He has flouted court's order that pleased some people, so he needed to flout this most recent one to displease people who are still pleased.

You think Buhari is sane?

Next time, may be, majority who can decide who emerges on that seat will have sense enough to think reasonably.


Both people who are indifferent and those chanting sai baba are feeling their man.
Nigerians are seemingly not wise yet

.

It is left for lawyers to argue on that, but Mr President has spoken & that's final for now. cheesy

Fact is, the new Naira policy has brought untold hardship to Nigerians but even the incompetent Buhari has seen that this hardship is only a child's play compared with the tragedy of allowing a drug lord & dementia-prone controversial character like Thïefnubu to become President.

In all, Buhari & APC government should be held responsible for all these suffering.
Tinubu that claimed he made Buhari president should also take the blame for gifting Nigerians an incompetent president.

&Anyone still planning to vote APC & Tinubu on the 25th is indirectly praying for God to continue his suffering. smiley

This is a constitutional lawyer speaking, the one that is representing Nnamdi Kanu, I wonder what IPOBIANS turned Obidients is going to say to this.

But I trust they would deny anything and can even sacrifice their two eyes if that would make Tinubu fail.

I have never seen this type of hatred before

Hmmmmm !

The chicken has come home to roost,

When Buhari chased away the former Chief judge of the federation, they celebrated because he was from South South,

When the president sent DSS to harass judges they celebrated,

When the president refused to release Nnamdi Kanu you celebrated.


Now what is happening?

I want celebration from the North,

I want celebration from South West,

Why are you not celebrating again.


GOD IS THE GOD OF JUSTICE.

True. But the thing here is Buhari has been flouting courts orders prior to now, and Tinubu and his gang of urchins have been cheering him.

I once told MANNABBQBRILLS on this forum that the disregard for court orders and rulings by Buhari is a very terrible precedent for our democracy.

Since you refused to obey Emefiele's directives, Buhari has said it himself.
No going back on the new Naira policy.

For those of you who are still with the old Naira notes waiting on Supreme Court judgment, you can go and pay it into your Supreme Court bank accounts 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In the character of the most deadly drug Baron and Machiavellian political Godfather, what ever he can't corrupt and use to further his selfish ambition, he destroys.

He has demonstrated this machiavellian principles in the past as he remains the only Governor in Nigeria that changed his deputy Governors 3 times (not due to death or health) in his 8years tenure, he humiliated and rendered them politically irrelevant for not joining him in his monumental conversion of Lagos revenue to his personal purse and other atrocities against Lagos State and Nigerians.
Nobody is spared this destructions and any nobody that dares stands on his path or refused to be corrupted gets destroyed. even his own wife has been a recent victim, it's not just a rumour that Thiefnibu tried to take a younger Muslim wife after being criticized for not being a true Muslim by marrying a Christian wife and allowing all his children to be Christians, that's why Remi stopped joining him in his campaign trails and also stopped her APC women movement for Thiefnibu.

The heavens and earth have rejected Thiefnibu.

Thiefnibu will never be President, never!

my only worry now is that the true character of this demonic criminal might be revealed if he finally decides to take off the façade, you see, Thiefnibu doesn't care if he becomes the President of 2/3 of Nigeria, the rest can perish as long as he gets what he wants, with the two most terrifying extremists (El Rufai and Shettima) as his most trusted allies I fear for the worst if they are not tamed on time, anybody and everybody is dispensable in Thiefnibu's world. Buhari seriously needs to pick the wings off El Rufai before he takes flight, things can snowball into anarchy in no time.

The best place to start is leading a covet ops to burst their old notes stash house in Kaduna, there's over 100billion naira of old 500, 1000 and some USD in that house.

I'm fervently praying these men are stopped before they initiate their plans, what they did to Jonathan (with chibok girls and bombings) are child's play to what a combination of these 3 demons are capable of, these men are worst than u can possibly imagine and now they are extremely desperate, they are like vipers cornered to a wall, be rest assured they will strike.

To all Urchins endorsing and support these demonic criminals, I pray your families are not the first victims, this is beyond politics and tribe, I've always tried to warn you guys, refuse the devil now and he shall flee from us.
Openly denounce and reject these men, support the FG to root them out and deal with them, help protect and defend Nigeria from those seeking to destroy it.
They will all fail, Nigeria will not fail.
God will prevail where Thiefnibu and his gang of criminals must fail.
