Old Naira Notes: Chief Metuh Reacts To CBN Warning To Nigerians, Banks
Nigerian politician, Chief Olisa Metuh has reacted to reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria has argued that the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes are no longer lawful money.
In a letter signed by Olisa Metuh, it reads;
”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.
“The CBN governor should be sighted for contempt and arrested. He is behaving like one chairman that used to bestride that commission like a colossus(and flouting the laws of the land).
”Anything short of arresting the cbn governor means the laws of Nigeria, especially the judiciary should not be respected.
“We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final. —Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson (1941-54).”
