Human rights lawyer, Monday Ubani says President Muhammadu Buhari has overruled the Supreme Court with his declaration that old N500 and N1,000 notes are no longer tender.
Ubani, while speaking in a live interview said the President’s intervention should have been to allow the apex court to resolve the matter and not cut short the process. According to him, the President should have waited and obeyed the Supreme Court order.
He further said the President has not set a proper precedent because the international community is watching and won’t have confidence in the country’s democracy and judicial process.
