Old Naira Notes: ‘Ojukwu Didn’t Do Half Of What El-Rufai Has Done’ – Reno Omokri

A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has questioned why the Federal Government is silent over the continuous disobedience of the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on the Naira redesign policy.

Naija News earlier reported that Nasir El-Rufai on Sunday insisted on old N500 and N1000 being legal tender in the state.

The governor directed its Ministries, Departments, and Agencies not to reject old naira notes.

El-Rufai stated this in a statement released on Sunday through the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye.

According to the Kaduna State Governor, the old and new naira notes should keep circulating in the state.

He said the directive is in line with the subsisting order of the Supreme Court on the naira notes.

However, in a post via Twitter, Reno Omokri averred that Ojukwu did not do half of what El-Rufai has done before General Gowon’s Military Government moved against him.

He further questioned why the country is not moving against the Kaduna State governor for treason.

He said: “Did Ojukwu do up to what El-Rufai had done before General Gowon’s Military Government moved against him?

“Ojukwu didn’t issue the Biafran Pound until January 29, 1968. Yet, Nigeria moved against him. Why is Nigeria my country not moving against El-Rufai for treason?”
