the Governor of Rivers State has mocked the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele while hailing the Supreme Court judgement over the naira policy.

Wike sided with the Supreme Court judgement extending the validity of old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes till December 31, 2023.

While taunting the apex bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, Wike said he has no option but to comply with the decision of the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land.

Speaking in Abuja, the governor said: “I thank God the Supreme Court today has told them the old money remains valid till the end of December.

“So, if you still have the old money, use it. The highest court of the land has said so.

“Too bad for the governor of the Central Bank. He has no choice. There is no other directive that can override the judgement of the Supreme Court.”
