OBASEKI DISMISSES CBN’S PLANNED NAIRA REDESIGN AS POLITICAL

The Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, has described the proposed plan by the Central Bank of Nigeria to redesign naira notes as political.

He noted that the move was a ploy by the All Progressives Congress-led government to sway voters ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Obaseki stated this while inaugurating the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party Women Campaign Council at the Presidential Campaign Secretariat in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

Lambasting the federal government for the move, Obaseki said the redesign of the nation’s currency shouldn’t be a priority as the majority of citizens are suffering from hunger, poverty and economic hardship.
