The camp of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential
candidate, Bola Tinubu has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Central
Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s campaign Director of Media and
Publicity, said Emefiele should be sacked because Nigerians don’t deserve his
bumbler.
Onanuga made the call while responding to a Twitter user who
noted that naira redesign was not APC’s policy.
@DeeOneAyekooto shared news of banks collecting enough new
notes.
He wrote: “This is NOT APC Policy. This is not Tinubu’s
Manifesto.”
Responding, Onanuga tweeted: “This was then under Major
General Muhammadu Buhari. There was no suffering then to get new notes.
“PMB, sack Emefiele now. Nigeria doesn’t deserve this
bumbler in CBN.”
In 2022, CBN introduced the redesigned N200, N500, and N1000
notes.
CBN had fixed January 31 for the mopping up of the old naira
notes. But, the deadline was extended to February 10 following public outcry by
Nigerians.
However, Nigerians have been witnessing naira scarcity
following the deadline by CBN for the mopping of the naira notes.
Banks had claimed they haven’t received enough supply of the
new naira notes from the CBN to end the scarcity.

And who is this fellow to tell PMB to sack the CBN governor? It is people like this that want the corruption train to continue in its tracks. Difficult as it is for us Nigerians, I can see its long term benefits.
