Atiku camp has described the new naira notes as renewed ‘hopelessness.’
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the spokesman of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Daniel Bwala, on Wednesday reacted to the re-designed naira notes unveiled in Abuja.
This online media platform gathered President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the re-designed N200, N500, and N1000 notes at the commencement of the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the State House.
Buhari was flanked by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, and some cabinet members while unveiling the redesigned N1,000, N500, and N200.
The new Naira notes will become legal tender commencing from December 15, while the old ones will cease to be legal tender effective February 1, 2023.
This is the first time in 19 years that Nigeria will be redesigning some of her currency notes.
Taking to his Twitter account shortly after the unveiling of the new notes on Wednesday, Bwala said only the colour of the naira was changed.
He said that the value of the Naira to the Dollar remains the same, and it’s all renewed hopelessness.
He wrote: “The color has changed, but the value to dollar is still the same. Renewed hopelessness”
