Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state said on Friday that no incoming President or Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) can overturn the Supreme Court’s current ruling on old naira notes while speaking with journalists following the apex court’s decision on the old naira note.
He said, “The policy of currency confiscation where you deposit money in the bank and the bank chooses not to give you is illegal and shall end forthwith, so Nigerians can go to the bank and collect whatever they have deposited and get on with their lives.
Remember that the Supreme Court overturned the ban on the use of old N200, N500, and N1000 banknotes as legal tender on Friday.
