He stated that many Nigerians have been stranded, immobile and starved due to the scarcity of the naira notes. Oba Akanbi called on stakeholders most especially the federal government to review the policy with a view to decimating the hardship on innocent Nigerians.

New Naira Notes Scarcity

He revealed traditional rulers are not left out of the naira impasse, imploring the legislators to veto enforcement of extension and provision of enough naira notes by the CBN.

A statement by Oluwo through his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, further reads:

“The new naira regime has inflicted much hardship on Nigerians. It has grounded the country’s economic activities. It’s worsening every day. As a father with a voice, I must speak out”

“The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele owe Nigerians apology for inducing such a hardship. I’m yet to be convinced about the introduction of a new naira note without proper measures to provide an adequate/enough inflow of new notes in circulation. It’s gross gross insensitivity to human feelings.”

“Many are stranded, immobile and starved due to the non-availability of new notes.
“I suspect an intention to blackmail the infrastructural legacies of President Muhammed Buhari. The federal government and federal legislators should checkmate the CBN governor, veto an unconditional extension of the deadline and ensure the new notes are widely circulated.”

“Emefiele needs to address Nigerians again to holistically justify the introduction of the new note and the deadline without enough money in circulation. We can’t continue suffering and keep mute. This is really bad at a time INEC will need resources for logistics.”
