The Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dragged President Muhammadu Buhari before Supreme Court on Thursaday over naira notes redesign.

Governor Ganduje asked the court to command the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) not to stop collecting the old naira notes of N200, 500 and 1000.

He added that the naira redesign has also contradicted the provision of the 1999 constitution of Nigeria.

In a complaint filed by Sunusi Musa SAN yesterday, Ganduje said President Buhari alone had no right to instruct the CBN to stop collecting the old naira notes without consulting the House of Assembly.

Ganduje also decried about the way people are suffering in the country because of this newly introduced policy by the CBN.

In his interview with BBC Hausa, Musa said the court will hear the case on Wednesday next week.

The Daily Reality recalls that the governors of Kaduna, Zamfara and Kogi had earlier dragged president Buhari to the court over same case of naira redesign.

However, some analysts are seeing it as a power tussle between Buhari and Tinibu cabal ahead of 2023 elections.
