Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A socio-political activist, Deji Adeyanju has said the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele has outsmarted politicians using the Naira redesign.<\/p>\n

Adeyanju said Emefiele outsmarted the plot by politicians to unleash stockpiled billions on voters during the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

In 2022, CBN announced the redesign of N200, N500, and N1000 notes.<\/p>\n

Emefiele had fixed December 31st as a deadline for the swap of the old naira notes with the new ones.<\/p>\n

Following the outcry that greeted the deadline, Emefiele announced an extension of the date till February 10.<\/p>\n

Amid the deadline extension, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna alleged that the redesign naira policy was targeted at the party\u2019s presidential drive.<\/p>\n

However, Adeyanju said politicians would not get the new naira notes during the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

In a chat with DAILY POST, Adeyanju said the CBN should stop bank executives from delivering the new notes to politicians.<\/p>\n

According to Adeyanju: \u201cNo matter the tears elRufai and others shed during this period, nobody is delivering new Naira notes to anyone\u2019s house in a Bullion van this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew naira redesign is one of the best decisions of the Emefiele-led CBN, Tinubu\u2019s tears notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cCBN outsmarted the plot by politicians to unleash stockpiled billions on voters for vote buying. The next step is to stop bank executives from handing over new notes to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
