CBN Deadline: How Supreme Court Ruling Saved Nigerians From Economic Shutdown, Fani-Kayode Speaks

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has hailed the Supreme Court ruling against the CBN on the use of old naira notes.
The apex court judgement annulled the Central Bank of Nigeria deadline of February 10 as the last date the notes would be acceptable.
A seven-man panel led by Justice John Okoro, in an unanimous ruling, ordered that the notes remain in circulation after Friday.
A statement by Fani-Kayode commended the Supreme Court for displaying “remarkable insight and sensitivity” in the matter.
He said the justices proved that the courts are the last hope of the common man “when faced with the tyranny of abusive and cruel policies and insane officials”.
The former presidential aide also thanked the All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftains, Governors Yahaya Bello, Nasir El-Rufai, and Bello Matawalle.
The Governments of Kogi, Kaduna and Zamfara States sued the Federal Government on Tuesday.
Fani-Kayode noted that history and posterity will reward them for getting a judgement that saved Nigerians from “the most complex and greatest evil”.
He described the deadline as “the darkest conspiracy” ever hatched against democracy and foisted on citizens by “a tiny group of evil technocrats and saboteurs working for a greater power”.
The APC 2023 campaign director said there’s now a chance to change the narrative and take away the immense suffering that has been imposed on Nigerians in the last few days.
Fan-Kayode added that the policy which sought to “inflict pain on the people, destroy their future and scuttle democracy” has been declared illegal.

#ENDSARS: Sanwo-Olu Orders Payment Of N5m To Assaulted Uber Driver

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered the payment of N5 million compensation to an Uber driver, Adedotun Clement, who was assaulted by security operatives during an #ENDSARS anniversary rally in the state in October 2021.
Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Lagos, had on March 14 ordered the state government and Nigeria Police Force to pay the sum while ruling on an application filed by the driver.
Clement was assaulted by police operatives and members of the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Agency during a rally to mark the first anniversary of the #ENDSARS protest near the Lekki Toll Gate in the state.
The governor, who confirmed the development on his Twitter handle on Saturday, said he had directed the state’s Attorney- General and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) to set up a meeting with the driver and pay him the compensation awarded by the court.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the rule of law in the state.
Sanwo-Olu wrote: “Good evening Lagos, as governor, I’m committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens’ rights with empathy and authority.
“I recently became aware of the case involving Mr. Clement Adedotun and the judgement by the Federal High Court, and I understand the impact this legal battle has had on him.
“After reviewing Mr. Clement’s case, I’ve directed the Honorable Attorney General to set up a meeting and pay him the compensation awarded by the court.”
The governor, who confirmed that the state government has appealed the ruling, said he ordered the payment of the compensation for the good of the society.
“Although the State Government has appealed the ruling, I’ve interceded in this instance in the interest of the public good and requested that the State’s Attorney General comply with the court’s ruling.
“As a strong advocate for the rule of law, I commend all parties for seeking justice through the appropriate channels, and I remain committed to upholding the rights of all Lagosians,” he added.
