Former special assistant to ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has reacted to the broadcast the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufa’i had on Thursday, in which he overrode the directive of President Buhari and said that the old N200, N500 and N1,000 notes are still legal tenders in his State.
Reno, a social media influencer, in a post shared on his Instagram page described Governor El-Rufai’s action as treason, and called for his arrest and trial.
He wrote: “What Nasir El-Rufa’i 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-Rufa’i has done is a worse case of treason than what Nnamdi Kanu allegedly did”.
