Recall Atiku had always been in support of the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and also opposed a further extension of the February 10 deadline saying that any further extension would destroy the purpose and objective of the policy.
He had beseeched the Federal Government to avoid making Nigerians scapegoats “in the ongoing battle of titans over the redesign of the naira.”
However in a Facebook post on Sunday, he called on the CBN to release the new notes as “a matter of urgency”.
