The Director of Media and Publicity for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has called for the sack of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele following the pains and agonies Nigerians are experiencing since the beginning on Cashless Policy.
His call captured the mood of some angry Nigerians who felt the CBN Governor does not deserve to remain in office following the tension the scarcity of the new naira notes and the short deadline had generated in the country.
But the opposition Peoples Democratic Party kicked against the call, saying it is a ploy devised by the Tinubu camp to avoid defeat at the February 25 presidential election.
Onanuga’s call came barely 24 hours before the Supreme Court temporarily halted the move by the Federal Government through the CBN to ban the use of the old naira notes beyond February 10, 2023.

A seven-member panel led by Justice John Okoro had granted an interim injunction against the CBN and Federal Government, allowing the old N200, N500 and N1000 to remain legal tenders beyond the February 10 deadline until the case is fully disposed.
In an interview with one of our correspondents, a livid Onanuga lamented that in a saner clime, Emefiele would have been kicked out of office for making Nigerians pass through harrowing experiences and untold hardship in the past two weeks.
According to the APC PCC Media Director, people can now see that it was not an APC-motivated policy as being speculated in some quarters.
He said, “This is not the first time in the world that a currency is being changed. Why is it different in our country? What this has so far revealed is that we have an incompetent CBN Governor.

That’s why I said it is all about the Nigerian people.
