Naira Scarcity: Buhari Disowns Emefiele, Says CBN Doesn’t Need His Directives To Obey Court Orders

President Muhammadu Buhari has distanced himself from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s alleged disobedience to orders of the Supreme Court regarding the implementation of the Naira redesign and cash swap policy of the apex bank.

According to Buhari, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, cannot claim that he refused to obey the Supreme Court’s order on recirculation of old Naira notes because he (Emefiele) did not get a directive from him to comply.
