Redesigned naira notes should have Obasanjo’s image Obasanjo’s – Atiku

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday urged the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to put former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s image on the redesigned naira notes.

Atiku, who gave the advice in a tweet, said Obasanjo’s face should be on the naira note due to his efforts in making Nigeria a better place.

According to him, having Obasanjo’s face in the naira would inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for the country.

“Africa is blessed to have a statesman of such impeccable democratic credentials as Chief Obasanjo. A man whose image ought to be in the redesigned naira note to inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for their nation and continent,” Atiku tweeted.

The Central Bank of Nigeria recently announced the redesigning of N100, N200, N500, and N1000 notes.
