The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has stated the reason why former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s image should be on the redesigned naira notes.
He urged the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN to put Obasanjo’s face on the naira note due to his efforts in making Nigeria a better place.
In a tweet, Atiku wrote: “Africa is blessed to have a statesman of such impeccable democratic credentials as Chief Obasanjo. A man whose image ought to be in the redesigned naira note to inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for their nation and continent.”
Recently, the apex bank governor, Godwin Emefiele, announced the redesigning of N100, N200, N500, and N1000 notes.
The CBN boss said the new notes would be released on December 5, 2022.
