All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hailed the Governors of the 36 states for standing on the side of the Nigerian people over the Central Bank new Naira and cashless policies that have subjected the masses to pains.

According to Asiwaju Tinubu, the Governors especially the APC Governors who instituted the suit against the CBN and Federal Government at the Supreme Court acted well on behalf of the hapless Nigerians who have been made to bear the brunt of Naira redesign policy that has been poorly implemented

The Supreme Court on Wednesday morning in a law suit brought before it by the governments of Zamfara, Kogi and Kaduna States gave an interim injunction against the CBN and Federal Government, allowing the old N200, N500 and N1000 to remain legal tender beyond February 10 deadline until the case is fully disposed.

Following the apex court ruling, Asiwaju Tinubu noted that the governors have saved the country from a needless political and economic crises and miseries which have clearly become the unintended consequences of the monetary policy of the apex bank.

Asiwaju Tinubu noted that the Supreme Court ruling coincided with the advisory of the International Monetary Fund urging for the extension of the deadline for the swap of the old naira notes, going by the problems being experienced across the country in getting the new notes.

"I want to salute the courage of our Governors and most especially the Progressives Governors in APC who acted to save our country from avoidable and dangerous political crises and social unrest which the Central Bank policy on new Naira notes has brought on our country.

“Our country was dangerously careering toward anarchy and political and economic shutdown. But with the Supreme Court interim ruling our country has been pulled back from the precipice. We thank our Supreme Court Justices for ruling wisely on the side of the people who have been subjected to undue agony and pains since this policy was announced.

"The Federal Government and relevant stakeholders can now sit down and work out better framework on how to proceed with the new policy without causing any social and economic disruption and inconvenience to our people. We have examples of other countries that have successfully and seamlessly changed their currencies to learn from.

“Those countries give a long time, at least 12 months to effect the currency change. They do not engage in CBN-like Fire Brigade approach.

"We have seen how a good policy can be poorly implemented to cause unintended problems for the people who should be the beneficiaries. While lessons have been learnt, we must now move on as a country and people with a Renewed Hope for a better tomorrow.

“The sole aim of my running to be the president of our country is to make life better and more abundant for our people and this is an ideal for which I will remain eternally committed to."

Asiwaju Tinubu called on the CBN to ensure that the Supreme Court ruling is effectively executed by taking all necessary steps to (i) ensure sufficient availability of Naira notes (whether old or new) and (ii) properly sensitising the public on the ruling and the consequent validity of old Naira.

Buhari was deceived into this blunder. Though the policy and its objective aim is good but execution was not well thought off.

Of course he will hail them, he just tested abi licked the microphone for his promised dirty fight and it is paying off.

JAGABAN Borgu! Incoming president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

He is having a nightmare because of you pauper and your likes. I know it is not easy getting the new Naira notes and so your entire family. Coming to Nairaland to spool trash here shows how stupid and naive you are. This reality on ground in Nigeria today shows how desperate people are to get cash.
Millionaires are crying getting the new notes. People are paying heavily to get the old Moines.
It is just matter of days before the country explode and that is what the enemies of Nigeria are waiting for, to unleash terror and violence.
I pity for your naivety. Mumu dey yarn.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next President of the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Why will anyone be against this decision considering what the people are going through right now. Only those who are hoping that the hanger of the policy by the electorate will be taking out on Tinubu are the only ones who are delirious by this good news.
It's now clear to everyone that these people don't care about the people they only care about what they think hurts Tinubu. What terrible state of mind.

Well get ready to hate for another 4 to 8 years of Tinubu's istration.

Kikiki.
Bayo and his thieving principal want to cajole the president and the CBN governor into reversing this noble policy.
Waste of time.
By the time the drug-dealing, bullion van-deploying looter wakes up from his delusion, it'll already be 26th February.

By the way, when has Buhari ever obeyed a court order?
The majority of patriotic Nigerians know that curbing corruption/vote-buying towards ensuring a credible election supersedes the Rule of Law.


Ride on Baba Buhari.

Nigerians say NO to vote-buying!

May affliction never arise for the second time please God.

VOTE WISELY!

Nwodosis:
Of course he will hail them, he has began his promised dirty fight and it is paying off.

He will still fail. Never mind. Another plan will be activated. The money they hoarded will soon be siezed. Mark this. People will get the money FREE soon.

J

Even with his money, Tinubu cannot win this election. If he likes, he should protect the old notes more than he protects his old self

Obi for me
Obi for you
Obi for all NAIRALANDERS including Cc Thechameleon

Obidogs are confused on what to do

Noted.

Who knows, maybe Buhari needed to save face and used supreme court to buy time since this policy is faltering on his face

Any Court rulings that is going to benefit the masses is highly welcome

They will fail. Nigerians will collect and vote for Peter Obi.

Na we dey suffer am you think dem dey feel abi you wan think say Dem no go distribute new Naira note on election dey. Make we dey play, mugus everywhere

He believes it is to his advantage to do that

The same Supreme Court that even it's Statue lacks Integrity

Bullion vans

O kare Jagaban. Ore mekunu. Oju ti awon ota mekunu.

I am still waiting for when the governors will take the FG to court over fuel scarcity, poor electricity supply and overcharging by the distros, poor health facility, insecurity and other ills in the country. When it affects them directly, they fight with all their might and say they are fighting for the masses. We are wise now, we know their game.

And some youths can't reason beyond what they are being told by the "elders"

Baffling!

Supreme court is one of the major problem blocking fight against corruption.

This is the kind of masses oriented leadership Nigeria needs.

Tinubu has shown courage and foresight when other candidates were still waiting for the dust to settle.

This is the same foresight and leadership he showed as Lagos State Governor with the electric power IPP, investment in Econet, Office of the Public Defender, return of schools to their original missionary founders, BRT, Eko Atlantic and Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Nigerians that want to prosper know that Tinubu is the genius we need at this time.

Compare Ologo with Olodo below.

Even Reno Omokri had to it the truth about Bola Tinubu.

Suffer no dey tire you?

Must Nigerians suffer like Anambrarians suffered?

ok
