The African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore suggested that Emefiele should be sacked for his plans to redesign of the new naira notes.
Instead of redesigning bank notes, according to Sowore, the CBN should raise the value of the naira.
In a tweet, Sowore wrote: “Central Bank of Nigeria to redesign banknotes 200, 500 and 1000 notes instead of boosting the value of the Naira. Jokers!
“Me: It is time to fire the CBN Governor, Emefiele #WeCantContinueLikeThis”
Within Nigeria had earlier reported that the apex bank would unveil the redesigned naira notes on December 15, 2022.
Emefiele said the new currencies to be launched are N1,000, N500 and N200 notes.
Addressing a press conference, Emefiele advised Nigerians to take their old notes to banks in exchange for new ones.
