Femi Adesina, the presidential spokesperson, says former president Olusegun Obasanjo commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the naira redesign policy.

Adesina said in a statement that the former president praised Buhari at the council of state meeting held in the state house, Abuja, on February 10.

“Change was necessary from time to time, and resistance to change is normal,” he quoted Obasanjo as saying.

The former president said the policy would bring a “little bit of sanity into our elections and have a salutary effect on kidnapping and ransom taking, and corruption will be substantially reduced”.

“The naira change policy is good, but implementation is the issue. If there’s inadequate supply, let’s have more. If there are unscrupulous people sabotaging the policy, let’s deal with them,” Obasanjo said.

“I’ve experienced currency change at least more than half a dozen times. When we increased feeding In universities from 50 kobos to N1, it led to the ‘Ali Must Go’ riots. Resistance to change is normal, and people will always support, oppose, or be neutral.”

On his part, Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), said the policy is aimed at strengthening the economic prospect of the country.

“The policy is not targeted at anyone or group of persons, but rather derived from the analysis to strengthen our macroeconomic fundamentals and better our socio-economic conditions,” he said.

“To make monetary policy more efficacious, increase financial inclusion, support security agencies to combat banditry and ransom-taking, and curb corruption.”

This was before the President made the broadcast and ignored the advice he was given by the Council of State that adviced him to release more new notes or recirculate all the old notes till new notes are sufficiently available to ease the pains of the citizens

Now the President has muddled up things by disobeying a lawful Supreme Court order and folks are now on the streets.

My appeal to all patriots is to please calm down and protest peacefully.

The directive from the President is an illegal directive that disobeys lawful court order.

Election holds in 8 days. You should all come out en masse to vote for Asiwaju. Only Asiwaju can stop them from turning your old notes into tissue paper.

Once Asiwaju wins, old notes will remain till December 2023 and Emefiele will be fired for gross incompetence.

Every one should remain calm please.

This one wey dey scam Obi..


Atiku is coming

Obasanjo knows he will be fine after he stole 16billion dollars meant for power then went to build his house on a mountain like a true coward. He’s used to destroying the masses for his own benefit. Anybody that supports a party which supports this policy is a fool. LP and PDP has shows they will turn a blind eye to the suffering of the masses as long as it benefits them. Just like OBJ. You are not affecting Tinubu, in fact, the voters will be so cheap now to buy.

Toh.

Even me, if I bi Tinubu supporter, I no go like this policy. As in, how dem go take share me my support money?

So why are you guys crying everywhere

HIGHESTPOPORI:
So why are you guys crying everywhere

Who is crying? Common people. Do you see Obi crying that he’s suffering from lack of new notes?

Baba has spoken. Urchins cry me a river

.

Only those who have ulterior motives criticize this policy. Thank you, M. Buhari and Emefiele, for having the courage to embark on this tough course.

the problem is not the design but the process of implementing it, if we can deposit the old note, they should be an avenue to withdraw the new note

Coming from a man who urged the president to ignore the verdict of a court that exonerated nnamdi kanu.

The real Baba himself..

Buhari's knock out for rogue Politicians but the masses are suffering

I don't think any Yoruba Christian will vote for Muslim Muslim ticket

Are you pretending not to know that Bubu has been disobeying court orders since 2015? How many court orders freed Dasuki, El Zazaki,
Nnamdi Kanu?

What goes around comes around

Ogbeni shut up and stop spamming naira land with this gibberish from Aisha

Tinubu the cclueless drug baron ti lule piii pii

Oga bullion van, u av been the main reason for this change.

E come be like the cabals have recruited Buhari in their drive to enthrone Peter Obi.

Shebi Tinubu and his BATstards said Obasanjo endorsement didn’t matter?

See presidential spokesman drawing strength from Obasanjo’s endorsement of the policy that Tinubu and his idiots are against.

The owners of Nigeria won’t be alive and watch Tinubu become president of Nigeria.

Exactly my point! The likes of Tinubu, Obj, Atiku and Obi all have access to banks directly and will access these funds if they need it. It is the poor that’s suffering right now.

Changing money is a good policy, but not fully prepared before pushing out the policy is counter productive and sick.

The CBN governor seem to be more politician than an economics.

Bubu has called the people (Council of State Members) he needs to explain his moves to and the reason why he's making the moves which they are all in agreement to.

Wetin dem go do this guy with him arrogance ehn?

How anyone will expect Buhari and any sane person in Nigeria for that matter to hand Nigeria over to Tinubu knowing his antecedents with pocketing Lagos beats my imagination for real.

Make we dey watch..

Court asked buhari to release nnamdi Kanu, dss and buhari held him down against the court order, una no talk then oo, una no call buhari move illegal

This one has affected you lots now and you start quoting the Supreme Court, our darling daddy please carry on, I know you have destroyed Nigeria already, but we will forgive you if you help us destroy apc from within like you are currently doing

Anything to deprive tilinbu of vote buying is welcomed😀😀

Same people that attacked the policy are now praising the prez

E.g. Obidients

Once Tinubu wins what?
Baba sef don disappoint. Bros think twice.

So, are they saying that Obasanjos advice is superior to Supreme Court judgement? These people are dunce !

That Ashiwaju of corruption called Tinubu must not be allowed to rule this country. His Muslim-Muslim ticket is dangerous for a country like Nigeria which is a secular country.

All these tribalistic motherfvckers because of their hatred for the igbos are busy supporting nonsense but God pass them
