The Kaduna State Government has directed that both old and new naira notes should be accepted as legal tender by all state ministries, departments, and agencies. This was contained in a press statement released by Muyiwa Adekeye, Special Adviser to the Governor , stating that the directive is given in compliance with the Supreme Court directive on the naira swap policy.“In line with the subsisting order of the Supreme Court, the Kaduna State Government has directed its ministries, departments and agencies to ensure that their collection agents continue to accept payments made in all denominations of the naira, old and new.

“The laws of Kaduna State do not allow personnel of government agencies to be involved in cash collection of revenues. The collection agents authorised by state government agencies do offer citizens a route for cash payment, and are expected to comply with the subsisting court order.” In direct defiance of President Muhammadu Buhari's directive, the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, earlier asked residents of the state to accept the old N500 and N1000 notes as legal tender.During the broadcast, El-Rufai described the naira redesign policy as a weapon by members of the ruling party and close allies of President Muhammadu Buhari bent on stopping the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress , Bola Tinubu, from winning the 25 February election.

ElRufai should be arrested for treasonable offsnse

Base on who him be

Malam EL Rufai has become the first governor to actually secede from Nigeria thereby committing treason.

If this should come from south east or south south they will call it treasonable offense. How can federal government stopped naira notes from use and state say otherwise.

El-Rufai is demanding for 2 states solution in Nigeria.

This war never seem to end soon besides we are not shifting ground on Obi, either money or no money I and my family will surely vote for Obi.

Creating circulation for his stolen money.

Treason

He don't know their time have gone and new Nigeria is coming and prison awaits most people.

Looks like insurrection to me.

I think someone needs to remind this man that Kaduna is a state inside the federal republic of Nigeria.

They are crying that poor people are suffering;and their solution to the suffering is to allow them to share old notes to the poor on the eve of election.

This man air Rocket looks like innocent.but he's a davlish in humans flesh.tell him that I said..

He feels when it finally happens him go talk say nah Supreme Court order him follow based on law and education weh him get 😂 Nigeria nah fun Ajeh 😂

What lawlessness is going on in nigeria?

Isn't this anarchy? What type of example is he giving. I feel the pain but then you can't run a parallel government.

Pls who is going to Kaduna to help me spend the old money with me there?

Governor elrufai is a throne loyalist

Madness

If there is a MB in Asoville, El rufai, the short demon would not be making a scene.

Unfortunately El-rufai has no market for citizens in kaduna, he has no products or goods to sell, kaduna citizens has spoken El-rufai is not their president.

President of the federal republic of kaduna has spoken. …hmm desperation no go kpai this man enh.

It's only on social media y'all taking him serious, no one taking him serious in Kaduna

Where would they find the old note unless u gave them the ones u stock in your home

Federal Republic of Kaduna 😄😄😄😄

Nah wahooo

He knew that nobody is in Aso rock and that he can't be arrested if they do he will tell Nigerians that the man there is not a result of that some of the northern governors is countering any order that is not in their favor .

We have more than one president,😂😂ehh God

It is not the Goat that should be send to find out if Lion has eaten, its not Nigerians APC&PDP to be asked if they are hungry &angry or not. its end time for corrupt leadership. Our time is this coming weekend to change our ugly YesterYears. We must win. Vote for Peter Obi

Our a man of people. Thanks

The Governors of APC are the biggest opposition to their FGN policy which is Naira swap. Some have openly directed citizens in their states to disobey lawful policy pronouncement of the elected President of Nigeria, Muhammad Buhari, GCFR. They are a plate of salad. ENO.

Does Kaduna and Supreme Court operate a separate CBN?😏😏😏

See this small man dey challenge Buhari. Small waist dey shake oh

I sense state of emergency in your state

I saw this when I put hands in one of my pockets. I need take it to Elrufia's republic

Follow the Oder from the Supreme Court.

MBuhari is the most disrespected president after Goodluck Jonathan in the history of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

By the time he leaves office, a lot of his supporters will end up with Zimbabwean dollars 🙄

EL-RUFAI, CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP QUIET?! SEE OUR CLASS MONITOR HERE!! 👇👇👇

Little man

Really! That's okay. He has bandits and kidnappers in Kaduna state to enforce the directives.

Redesign of naria notes really sabotage their plan, my country people these will give us the great opportunity to vote for a better Nigeria.
