Former Nigerian presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri has reacted to the broadcast the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai had on Thursday, February 16, in which he defied the directive of President Buhari and said that the old N200, N500 and N1000 notes are all still legal tender in his state.
Reno in a post shared on his Instagram page described Governor El-Rufai’s action as treasonable and called for his arrest and trial.
He wrote: “What Nasir El-Rufai has done in defying the Central Bank of Nigeria’s directive and President Buhari’s national broadcast, by saying that the old Naira notes would still be valid in Kaduna, is treason. If a state of emergency is not declared in Kaduna, and the Governor removed, arrested, and tried, then Buhari should apologise to Nnamdi Kanu and release him. Because what El-Rufai has done is a worse case of treason than what Nnamdi Kanu allegedly did.”
