Gov. Abiodun distributes old notes to supporters amidst allegations of storing invalid N500, N1000 for election

The governor and his colleagues opposition to the FG directive on the policy is said to be because they had stocked up old notes to induce voters during the general election.

Governor Dapo Abiodun has begun the distribution of old naira notes to his supporters in Ogun State, in an effort to garner more public support for the fast-approaching general election, amidst allegations that he and other politicians had stocked up notes to induce voters.

In a video seen by Peoples Gazette on Sunday, agents of Mr Abiodun could be seen sharing the old notes in envelopes branded with the governor’s picture, convincing the supporters that the notes remain legal tenders contrary to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy.

“These notes remain legal tender, the governor will come back for an enforcement if banks reject them,” his agent told supporters who tried to protest the validity of the notes.

Mr Abiodun alongside his Lagos and Kaduna counterparts and several other state governors have maintained an undaunting opposition to the directive of the presidency and the CBN on the validity of old notes.

The governors have insisted that the old notes should remain legal tender until the Supreme Court makes a definitive pronouncement on the matter which was earlier adjourned to February 22.

The 10 governors who oppose the president’s directive also approached the apex court over the weekend, seeking to obtain a pronouncement that President Muhammadu Buhari and the CBN’s insistence on taking the N1000 and N500 notes out of circulation violate an earlier ruling of the court ordering all parties to maintain status quo.

Political analysts are not united in their perspectives of the situation. While some see the most recent suit against the federal government and the CBN as putting democracy to test, others see it as sheer political selfishness, accusing Governor Abiodun and his colleagues of seeking a free reign of political lawlessness and electoral malpractices during the elections.

The APC governors challenging the federal government have been accused of opposing the CBN policy so as to be able to spend the cash they already have stored for the purpose of influencing the election.

I dedicate this FP to Nigerians who want a good leader like Peter Obi. Indeed we will soon celebrate victory.

Number of votes APC will get will determine the actual number of madt people in Nigeria.

Vote Peter Obi
Vote LP

na wetin fit some youths.

But the Headline is funny sha

This confirms the notion that some politicians stored bank notes waiting to engage in money politics.

They couldn't wait for February 25th to do the vote buying again because by then the notes would have become tissue paper.

God don catch them.

Asiwaju has started proving his credibilities that he cares about the masses

Unlike Obituary and Atiku

CBN should hurriedly close the portal for returning of old notes to CBN branches so that politicians won’t buy votes ahead of the election

They have started releasing the money as they can't use it to buy votes
Tinubu should do the same

Stop peddling fake news 🤣

This becoming glaring everyday that those opposing the redesign policy are out for their selfish gains

A confirmed ex convict who balablu claimed to have raised

They have stockpiled 500 and 1000 naira notes to buy elections that is why they were not satisfied with 200 naira that bubu asked to still be used

When they go against the Naira redesign policy , it is not because they care about you or your welfare

They deliberately kept you poor, stole your money and are handing miserable old 1000 naira notes to you in exchange for 4 years of suffering

I detested buhari for his 8 years of misrule but if this redesign policy would cause temporary discomfort and truncate their vote buying plans , then so be it

Sane of amongst the looters

He thinks like,it is better to share it than to let it expire.

He did first wrong of looting,but he could nor repeat the wrong for letting it expire.

By dumping monies that are no longer legal tender

BossGerald:

Maybe you are the one that doesn't know what credibility mean in agbado language. For the urchins and their grand patron it means speaking in irony.
Aren't you surprised that someone who's name, family background, education and everything about him is questionable talking about credibility?

As a slowpoke that you are , giving old notes to your fellow idiots is prove of credibility?
