State governments, which sued the Federal Government on the naira redesign policy, have given the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, and the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, till Tuesday to comply with the order of the Supreme Court on the currency.

He had yet to respond to a text message on the failure of the apex bank to comply with the Supreme Court order as of the time of filing this report.

In a Freedom of Information Act letter sent to the bank, Falana said, “Our attention has been drawn to your statement wherein you claimed that some unnamed politicians have mopped up the new naira notes made available to all commercial banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria. He said, “We reached out to them and we were told that they are still working on it. But I can assure you that they don’t have any information to give us. If they truly have any information, they would have written a reply.

Meanwhile, the Arewa Consultative Forum has decried the Federal Government and the CBN’s disobedience to the judgment of the Supreme Court on the naira redesign policy. It cautioned the President, Major-General Muhammad Buhari on the costly price he would pay over the unpopular policy. “President Buhari is under oath to defend the constitution of Nigeria. As his long-term supporters, it will be remiss of us if we fail to warn that the much-touted benefits of the naira redesign can never justify the damage to his credential as a democrat and a stickler for the rule of law.

Or what?

When ASUU was on strike, governors were muted. When kidnappers were doing their vocational work, no governor talk. End SARS, no alarm from any governor. Naira redesign, we are here together.

Why can't the citizens obey the supreme court?

After which they will do what? Governors should release all the monies they've been hoarding...He who seeks Justice must do Justice...

Then what will happen

Nothing dey happen

Governors abeg, na Wetin concern una with this old money? Na basic amenities suppose be una worry, nobi old money.

He should abeg, what's all these?

Why I Dey leaving Buhari out

People wey no dey obey court order dey tell people to obey... Make God punish dem

They are desperate because they want to buy vote .......

Why fight the puppets and not the puppeteer?

Was Emefiele and Malami there in 1984 when Buhari changed the colors of the Naira notes? When Buhari ordered the CBN to recirculate the old 200 and set a new deadline to April 10, did the CBN not comply? If you think Emefiele is the problem, then you have a problem.

Pls add inecnigeria

Toothless bull dogs...

What about INEC? Bunch of hypocrites

Leadership without bearing, Wailers every where. Supreme Court has become object of ridicule. When the head is sick,the body is useless. Nobody will ever obey court orders until the head start obeying first. It is well with Nigeria.

You see yourself!!!!!

This naira scarcity is 'Baba Nla Nonsense'.

Governor s should go to court 😉😉😉

The governors, if they want anything done, should direct their ultimatum to President Buhari rather his errand boy, Malami.

Them wan buy votes 🗳️, make sat finish

What will they do? Is the Supreme Court suppose to mingle in monetary affairs? Okay, let the Supreme Court pass a judgement for the exchange rate to be reduced. The international community are watching with amusement.

There's a lot of confusion going around. CBN is not part of your suit. So just leave him alone and focus on FG to give him directive.

Why not the president?

Seriously this people they use us they catch cruise one moment both of them are in disagreement the next moment they are both working together and they seem to now be the highest governing bodies in this matter abeg when was power taken from Supreme Court

The president should be enforcing supreme court orders not the governors. Something is not right in this country.

Have they been obeying court orders themselves? Now it's for them to shout

Donald trump got impeached twice. Can we please impeach our grandfather?

Are they not aware that inec has also not obeyed an appeal court ruling asking them to grant access to LP and PDP to inspect election materials? Why have they not given malami and mahmud ultimatum too? Selfish people.

I can't eat still morning hungry won kill me

For I as Igbo man I’m freedoms I need ok 🗞🗞🗞🗞

The CBN governor is not responsible to d governors. He has the duty to report to d presidency. Giving the CBN governor d ultimatum is an indirect way of saying the Governors are not well branded&equiped with what is assumed to be their roles. Speak to the appropriate quarter.

I think someone somewhere is not doing his or her job that is being paid monthly.

Why do we have to give Emefiele and Malami ultimatum to obey Supreme Court? It's the guts of these office holders for me.

But nobody is giving inec ultimatum

What about INEC?

This emefiele ah if we swear for him now ehnnn what kind of rubbish is this what kind of policy is that and he said he educated toor nonsense

Buhari led government is very consistent in disregarding Court orders ,a man with no integrity or standard should never be elected in the first place.

He is busy dragging his feet. Why haven't they impeached him?

Why is this difficult to do please?

Wait o, if President is there why would governors continue to demand from Malami and Emefiele to obey the court order, which of the Court do they want the government to obey, what goes around comes around, there are many disobedience to court orders by this clueless APC fraud gov

Most usless pple you shall not ent well

Who is giving inecnigeria their own ultimatum? What a country!

All this ultimatum isn't for the sakes of we Nigerians I guess.when there was fuel price incremental, killings, kidnapping none of them went to court,but naira scarcity,they are in the court..hmmmmmm

Haha since you governor are affected you take a quick action about it when the bandit, herdsmen and boko haram you don't take buhari and minister of defense by that time alaburu gbogbo

But they can't give PMB who is the president ultimatum? Mumu talk 🤡🤡🤡

Only if these people know how this monetary policy is crippling SMEs but some foolish Obidients without personal jobs are shouting 'ride on' to FG & Emefiele. We are in it together!

I mean wtf really? Nigerians are finding it so hard to live right now,business is down,economy is on a stand still all for what? I thought Democracy was meant to make govt listen to it's ppl? Major Gen. Buhari n Emefiele shld pls give us our cash back biko
