[JUST IN] New naira: Consider Nigerians’ suffering, Soludo tells Buhari
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.”
The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has told the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to consider the agony of Nigerians as a result of the naira redesign policy and work out ways to ameliorate their plight.
Soludo said the current hardship was too much and called on the President to obey the ruling of the Supreme Court which declared that the old and new notes should serve as legal tender for now.
The governor spoke during the burial mass of the First Republic Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, in Ukpor, Nnewi South LGA, Anambra State, on Thursday.
He said there was need for Buhari to respect the Supreme Court.
Buhari was represented at the event by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
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.”
