Naira Crisis: APC urges FG, CBN to obey S-Court order

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has asked the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to comply with the interim order of the Supreme Court which asked parties to maintain status quo with regards to the Naira redesign policy.

This was the outcome of a meeting between APC governors, the National Working Committee, NWC, and APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Abuja.

The party also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently intervene and halt the current sufferings of the people.

Governors Nasir El-Rufai, Yahaya Bello and Bello Matawalle had earlier taken the Federal Government to the Supreme Court seeking an injunction to suspend the Naira Swap policy of the CBN which has caused untold hardships to Nigerians.

Although the apex court gave an interim order for the federal government to maintain the status quo and allow Nigerians to continue to use the old Naira notes, its decision was completely disregarded by the government which has continued with its disruptive implementation.

While addressing journalists at the end of the meeting, APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu appealed to the Attorney General of the Federation and CBN Governor to respect the Supreme Court order of interim injunction which is still subsisting.

Chairman, Progressive Governors Forum, Atiku Bagudu said all the parties at the meeting endorsed the resolution.
