Expiration Of Old Naira Notes: Metuh Fumes Over CBN Order

Former politician and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh has seriously condemned the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN to ignore the Supreme Court order extending the use of old naira notes to February 15, 2023.

Metuh now engaged in good governance works in his reaction to the declaration by the apex bank that the old naira notes have expired bemoaned what he described as the eclipse of the rule of law with the decision of the CBN.

He said:

“Our country has become truly lawless. Any pronouncement of court whether right or wrong must be obeyed. I went to Kuje prisons for a very biased judgement and conviction even though it was obvious it was a contrived political persecution.

“The Supreme Court of Nigeria gave an exparte order binding the President of Nigeria wherein the CBN got the directive under S.20 of their act to withdraw the old naira notes. The statement of Emefiele is an affront on the powers of the Supreme Court.

“Anything short of arresting the CBN governor means the laws of Nigeria, especially the judiciary should not be respected,” Metuh said.

– We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final. —Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson (1941-54).”
