Okon has said that politicians’ fight to keep the old Naira Note is not for Nigerians.
A comic actor, Bishop Umoh, aka Okon Lagos, has stated that politicians’ fight to keep old naira notes is not for the benefit of Nigerians and that the naira enforcement policy is one policy that Nigerians will yarn for Buhari if the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, doesn’t emerge as president.
“You see this Naira redesign and enforcement policy? Something tells me it is one policy that Nigerians will say ‘bring back our Buhari’, especially if, God forbid, [Peter] Obi doesn’t emerge president”.
He made this known via his Instagram account on Friday morning.
The actor has also stated that the naira redesign policy is not intended to punish the common man, but rather to maintain a free and fair election adding that vote-buying politicians have the exact notes that are no longer legal tender.
He wrote, “No desperate vote-seeking Nigerian politician genuinely cares about you. Their fight to keep all old currency notes as legal tender isn’t for you!
“Let it just be that N200, N100, N50, N20, N10 and N5 are made available. It will be enough to satisfy the cash needs of every common man.
“What these vote buying politicians have are the exact old currency notes that are no longer legal tender (N1000 and N500).
“Guys chill let the elections finish. This fight isn’t aimed at punishing the common man. It’s aimed at delivering a fair elections! Abeg make we not too vex. E go soon finish!”
