THE Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa says he suspects that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria – CBN, Godwin Emefiele “misled” President Muhammadu Buhari on the redesign of the N200, N500, N1,000 bank notes.
Doguwa however, expressed optimism that President Buhari would remedy the action.
The lawmaker, who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, said the naira swap would frustrate the 2023 general elections and doubted the sincerity of the CBN chief who was once a presidential aspirant in the APC.
“The President as chief executive of government or the President as C-in-C (Commander-in-Chief), who of course is the leader of the party on one hand. I want to also look at the central bank and Emefiele as governor of the bank on another hand,”Doguwa, who is also the Chairman of the House Adhoc Committee on the redesign of three naira notes said.
“Perhaps when the President is presented with misleading briefing that is not quite express to even understand the implications therein, then, definitely, the President is bound to act in wrong direction. That is my suspicion and that is my own understanding.”
