Governor of Zamfara, Bello Matawalle, has ordered the arrest of anyone who refuses to accept the old Naira notes of N200, N500 and N1,000 in the state.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Matawalle said the old currency notes remain legal tender until the final verdict of the case instituted against the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Government by three Northern Governors of Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara States at the Supreme Court.
Matawalle stated this at the swearing-in ceremony of new High Court Judges and newly appointed special Advisers held at the Government House, Chamber II in Gusau, the state Capital on Friday.
Matawalle also commended the Supreme Court for “doing the needful”, which he said will alleviate the suffering of the masses.
Recall that the Zamfara governor and his counterparts of Kogi and Kaduna states approached the Supreme Court to order the extension and validity of the old naira notes.
The court gave an interim injunction that the old naira notes remain as legal tender beyond February 10th.
More confusion on the way
Tinubu’s bullion vans sent to Ganduje and Elrufai to distribute for vote buying is making APC northern governors mad. I heard elrufai telling people in a townhall meeting in kaduna that people should continue accepting both old and new currencies until Tinubu comes to power to abolish the naira swap policy. Why can’t they bring out the money to the bank so that Emefiele can give them the new notes?.
But is Emefiele actually giving the new notes?
Why your State governor also didn’t bring out his own money to bank also
Why are we killing our self for nothing ,let the cbn make amend by letting us use the old and new as #100 was replace,
