Naira Redesign: Tinubu’s Camp Reveals Another Public Enemy Like Emefiele

One of the spokespersons for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has described the Attorney general of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, as a public enemy.

Naija News earlier reported that the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government asked the Supreme Court to dismiss a suit filed by three northern state governments challenging the deadline set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to end the legal tender status of the old naira notes.

The government through the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, argued that the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit in a preliminary objection.

The AGF, through his lawyers, Mahmud Magaji and Tijanni Gazali, asked the apex court to strike out the suit for lack of jurisdiction.

The AGF, in court filings dated February 8, 2023, contends that “the plaintiffs have equally not shown reasonable cause of action against the defendant.”

Citing grounds in support of the objection, with reference to Section 251 of the Constitution, the AGF argued that the suit falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in matters of monetary policy of an agency of the Federal Government.

Reacting via a Twitter post shared on Wednesday, Onanuga said Malami is following the footsteps of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, adding he is also a public enemy.

He wrote: ”Abubakar Malami is also a public enemy like Emefiele”
