APC presidential standard-bearer Bola Tinubu has called on governors nationwide to disregard President Muhammadu Buhari’s order that N500 and N1,000 notes are illegal tenders. Mr Buhari announced in a state address on February 16 that the old N1,000 and N500 notes were no longer legal tender and that his regime would only reissue the old N200 note, initially outlawed, until April 10.

This announcement was met with widespread opposition from governors, including Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, and House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, who stated defying the Supreme Court’s ruling to maintain the status quo was an invitation to anarchy.

In a circular shared on Friday by an APC presidential campaign spokesperson Dele Alake, the former Lagos governor urged “friendly governors” to follow suit with Mr El-Rufai’s and other governors’ actions disregarding Mr Buhari’s order in compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling.

The circular added the apex court must have the final say as globally practised in a constitutional federation.

“All friendly governors must replicate Kaduna address immediately to assure the integrity of the SC (Supreme Court) and (the) rule of law for the local & international community. This is the essence of constitutional federation with the SC having final say and follows USA best practice,” the circular stated.

Mr El-Rufai on Thursday accused the Buhari regime of plotting to instigate a military coup in Nigeria to avoid transferring power to a civilian administration when his tenure expires in May.

The brainless founder of agberos in Nigeria and the drug landlord of Africa has spoken. "A wasted mistakenly given ticket"

The truth is that no sane president will hand over power to this kind of criminal unless the person is an enemy of the state.

Lol... Tinubu that doesn't care about you

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

Tinubu is frustrated already

Funny apc old men playing pingpong with Nigerians

We are watching the Association of Professional Criminals (APC) implode in real time and it is the greatest show on earth. These clowns have been stripped naked and exposed like the clueless, sub-evolved primates that they are.

Tinubu can now see what we were telling him.
Tinubu is doomed

Tinubu should be arrested immediately!
He has no immunity!!
He has no right whatsoever to usurp the powers of the presidency!

Tinubu is an unlected agbadorian reptile. To enjoin the masses and the governors to flagrantly disobey state policies and edicts is nothing but raw treason!

This loose Cannon needs to be reigned in and be arrested before his laughable but wayward pursuit of power ignites chaos in the country

We are getting there soon. Someone should do well and check my earlier forecast today and thank me later .

The count down has started.

By telling Governors to defy an order from the President, Tinubu has committed treason. The man should be immediately arrested!

Tinubu cannot counter the order of the commander-in-chief, this is pure treason.

Jagaban Borgu.

The boldest politician from the South.

I heard CBN already release circular for bank to start collecting #500 and #1000 notes. That is a win for democracy.

No one can render your Naira valueless because you work so hard to earn every bit of the kobo. It’s even against human right to just wake up one day and say so so so remain valueless. Any sane thinking country allow both to be spend together until they eventually take off the old notes. When it enters the bank, the old note cannot come out back.

No bullion vans in this election. BUBU is against MUMU ticket.

I pity any ordinary citizen that will listen to this criminals who have looted our common resources, these people had brought them pains by stealing what belongs to them, they have stolen so much that the old notes they have in their possession is completely threatened and they are about to loose them, they want to use u masses as a shield of protest, the point is how much old notes are even at the disposal of the common man, compared to the billions they had kept? It's only a mumu person will take and follow their selfish and wicked advice

If true, then arrest tinubu for instigating violence

Reserved.

Bubu has called the people (Council of State Members) he needs to explain his moves to and the reason why he's making the moves which they are all in agreement to.

How anyone will expect Buhari and any sane person in Nigeria for that matter to hand Nigeria over to Tinubu knowing his antecedents with pocketing Lagos beats my imagination for real.
