I’m suffering over naira scarcity, my family can’t cook – Orji Kalu 

A former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, says the federal government’s naira redesign policy has affected his family, adding that he could not get enough money to cook.

Appearing on Channels Television program on Monday, Orji Uzor Kalu claimed that his family can no longer cook over the policy.

The senator representing Abia North in the national assembly said, “You can see the policy is right but I don’t keep money in my house. I am suffering.

“The other day, my house manager told my wife in Abuja that we have no money to cook food. My wife was virtually roaming around and we feed over 250 people every day. It is a problem to me and to everybody.”

Wakadaily reported that President Muhammadu Buhari directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to release old N200 notes into circulation to co-exist with new N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes for 60 days.

The President added that the old N500 and N1,000 banknotes are no longer legal tender in the country.

Kalu said he would have obeyed the Supreme Court’s order on the naira notes if he were the Nigerian president.
 
This is why if I am in the position of the Mr President as I have told you before, I will listen to the Supreme Court judgement. The Supreme Court to me, whether they are right or wrong, Mr President should obey the law and ask his Attorney General to put a review to the Supreme Court.”
