Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider Nigerians’ anguish as a result of the naira redesign policy and devise ways to alleviate their plight.
Soludo stated that the current hardship was excessive and urged the President to follow the Supreme Court’s ruling that the old and new notes should serve as legal tender for the time being.
On Thursday, the governor spoke at the burial mass for the First Republic Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, in Ukpor, Nnewi South LGA, Anambra State.
He stated that Buhari must respect the Supreme Court.
Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, represented Buhari at the event.
Soludo said, “I express gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the (Armed Forces of the) Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, who is represented by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chief Chris Ngige.
“I call on the President to consider the agony faced by the Nigerian people as a result of the new naira redesign policy.
“Since the Supreme Court has declared that the old and new naira notes should remain legal tender until judgment is rendered, the President should obey the ruling of the apex court, which placed him in the position of President of Nigeria.”
