Northern Elders blame Buhari for crisis trailing naira redesign

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) alleged on Tuesday that President Muhammadu Buhari was “unwilling” to restrain the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, from plunging Nigeria into a crisis over the redesign of the naira notes.

The NEF Spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this when he featured on Channels Television’s special election programme, “2023 Verdict.”

He said the CBN’s naira redesign policy and the resulting cash shortage would affect the All Progressives Congress (APC) chances in this month’s election.
