Human rights lawyer, Monday Ubani says President Muhammadu Buhari has overruled the Supreme Court with his Thursday declaration that old N500 and N1,000 notes are no longer tender.
Ubani, who is the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law (SPIDEL) spoke Thursday on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict
He said the President’s intervention should have been to allow the apex court to resolve the matter and not cut short the process.
“The President has actually overruled the Supreme Court decision. That is what I understand by what the President said this morning,” Ubani said.
The Senatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the Federal Capital Territory, Ireti Kingibe, who was also a guest on the programme lauded the policy but faulted its implementation
