The Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi has appealed to CBN and commercial Banks to make the new Naira notes available.
Obi said the call has become urgent because of the pains Nigerians are going through to get their own money.
Obi made this plea this morning via his verified Twitter account.
He also urged Nigerians to bear with the CBN and federal government hoping that all Nigerians would benefit from the currency redesigned efforts.
Obi tweeted thus :I urge Nigerians to bear with the CBN and federal government with the hope that the general populace and Nigeria will harvest the gains that will come with the reforms.
We equally implore the CBN and the banks to expedite efforts to make the new currency available to small depositors and the unbanked in order to reduce the pains of my fellow Nigerians, especially the underprivileged and those living far away from banks in the rural areas.’
