The Director of Special Media Projects, Special Media Operations, and News Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode has accused the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele as an enemy of Democracy.
Late last year, the CBN redesign the 200, 500, and 1000 naira notes into new notes, this has caused a lot of controversies in the political realm.
The National Assembly also threaten to arrest the CBN Governor over his inability to appear before the National Assembly to explain the reasons behind the redesigning of the New Naira notes.
Femi Fani Kayode accused the CBN Governor as an enemy of democracy, stating that the cancellation of the old naira notes should be done legally after the general election. He also stated that Godwin Emefiele is trying to cause crisis in the nation.
Femi said:
"Emefiele has weaponized the CBN and is an enemy of democracy. The policy of cancelling old notes must be totally cancelled until AFTER the election and then done lawfully. He wants to cause a crisis, provoke a people's uprising, derail our democracy and pave the way for an ING.
In his statement, he also said that the CBN Governor wanted to starve the citizen of cash and drive them to rage out of frustration. He finalized his statement by accusing Emefiele of subversion and destabilization.
"He has NO plans to release enough new naira notes any time soon. He wants to STARVE the people of cash & drive them to rage out of frustration. This is not about politics but about stoking up protest & revolution. This is subversion & destabilization. He must be stopped & caged! Femi added.
