In a defiant and daring confrontation against all constituted authorities in charge of conduct of elections; Nigerian citizens reneged on their franchise through VOTER APATHY which exploded and reverberated across the nation in an audible cacophony, "WE WILL NOT VOTE AGAIN WE HAVE NEVER GAINED ANY DIVIDENDS!"

Deliberate massive boycott of the postponed Governorship and States House of Assembly Elections which eventually took place on Saturday 18th March, 2023, occurred in virtually 28 States as COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES flourished as market women and youths in full glare of cameras dared law enforcement agents to arrest them! On the flip side, THUGS who did not believe in drama unleashed violence at polling units, seized, vandalized and burnt ballot boxes, papers etc. while the riggers also had a field day!

The "restricted" naira - both new and old were disbursed openly to purchase the Votes of unscrupulous electorate although EFCC claimed it arrested hundreds of defaulters who would be prosecuted in due time!

NIGERIA CAN NEVER GET ANY ELECTION RIGHT WITH THE MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL CONSTITUTION!

The Executive blunder which sandwiched introduction of re-designed naira currencies by the Central Bank with conduct of the General Elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, between 15th December 2022-18th March 2023, has further portrayed Nigeria as a country without appropriate and articulate policy direction!

The ripple effects of the unwholesome marriage of the two critical events
which lasted for about 90 Days almost set Nigeria onto a path of self-inflicted conflagration and massive civic disobedience in view of the attendant chains of socio-economic breakdown and total insecurity of lives and properties across the country!

GOING DOWN THE MEMORY LANE!

The Central Bank Governor in an announcement of Thursday 27th October 2022, claimed that benefits of the re-designed naira currencies were enormous as it would terminate counterfeiting, cancel further official money printing, check corruption, precipitate cashless economy and create liquidity to manage inflation. He also said that of the NGN3 trillion currencies in circulation NGN2.7 trillion were outside the banking sector and have stifled economic transactions through massive infiltration of counterfeit and very dirty currencies that could no longer qualify as legal tender.
The Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007 gives the financial agency a free hand to re-design, produce and release into circulation as appropriate, provided it complied with provisions of Section 18(a), Section 19 (a)(b) of the Act and approval of the President in writing.

THE APEX BANK AND ITS GOVERNOR SHOULD BE INSULATED FROM POLITICKING IN NORMAL CLIMES!

Under the Watch of the old general Muhammadu Buhari, Godwin emefiele Governor of the Central Bank bought our interest form of the All Progressive Party for 100 million naira to contest for presidency.

When public outcry in respect of his ambition became very loud he went to court to challenge his antagonists in respect of his constitutional rights which must be respected! Eventually when the heat continued he withdrew his petition from the court and decided to surreptitiously demand his "pound of flesh" from the downtrodden through the naira currency redesign which left them high and dry in consecutive THREE MONTHS!

ACCUSATION AGAINST EMEFIELE IS NOT CONSPIRACY THEORY!

*Mr. President from the onset connived with the CBN under the pretext that money launderers where the target of naira redesign because they had billions of the old currencies to purchase Votes and rig the elections!

*It was established that the President was privy to the entire policy because a CBN spokesman claimed that the agency made a request and writing from him.

*Several people approached the court to counter this unpopular CBN action and the Supreme Court ordered exparte orders on 8th and 15th February 2023 respectively that old currencies should remain legal tender with the new ones until Wednesday 22nd February 2023, three days before the Presidential elections when a substantive order would be made.

*But Major General Muhammadu Buhari who was used to disobeying Court orders on Thursday 16th February 2023, made a national broadcast to counter , the Supreme Court's ex parte order and the decreed that NGN200 naira old naira notes should be introduced as legal tender in order to cushion the sufferings of the masses!

*Although he claimed that he was not unmindful of the Supreme Court's interim order but that his action was in good faith. The Supreme Court has put him in his rightful place in spite of the executive rascality which it he displayed!

UNANIMOUS JUDGMENT OF SUPREME COURT OF FRIDAY 3RD MARCH, 2023!

1) Supreme Court ordered that the old NGN 200, 500, 1000 naira notes should remain in circulation till 31st December 2023.
2) It nullified the Federal Government's naira redesign policy and described it as an affront to the1999 Constitution.
3) The Jurists rebuked the unconstitutional use of powers by the old retired General on naira redesign because it breached the fundamental rights of Nigerian citizens in various ways.
4) Such attitude was not permitted under democracy and in a society like Nigeria.

NOW THAT THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER WHAT NEXT?

The ruling APC government and it's President should cover their faces in shame because they have failed to fulfill their manifesto in respect of care of the masses economic needs and provision of dividends of democracy.

Ahmed Bola Tinubu who is the president-elect-in-waiting to be sworn in on 29th May 2023 should be reminded that the election that brought him on board was CONTROVERSIAL and unacceptable to ALMIGHTY GOD!

HE should not waste time to quickly obey the instructions of the Lord to begin the process of establishing a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and ensure that in SIX MONTHS THE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM SHOULD BE IN OPERATION!

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

Yakubu Mahmoud shouldn't have wasted Nigeria's N300 billions, when he already had in mind a candidate of his choice.

A piece of paper and a pen to write the name of Tinubu on the certificate wouldn't be worth more N100. Why waste N300 billion to maintain the status quo?

Why did they call it vote when it is bribery
Just say Nigeria new president is..... Not to say come and vote.. anonymous already said all this

Keep wallowing in your unseriousness ,in brackets " Just Deh Play"
