New Notes Swap: Tinubu thanks Supreme Court for 'ruling wisely on the side of the people'

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has reacted to the Supreme Court ruling restraining the FG and Central Bank of Nigeria from executing the February 10 deadline for the use of old naira notes.

In a statement on Wednesday, February 8, Bayo Onanuga, the media director of the APC presidential campaign council thanked 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 former Lagos governor also commended the 36 state governors in Nigerian over their stands on the naira and cashless policy by the Central Bank of Nigerians.

The statement reads in part: “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."
