1. Atiku’s spokesperson calls Tinubu a comedian and advises APC to replace him
Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant (Public Communications) to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, advised the All Progressives Congress, APC on Sunday to replace Bola Tinubu in order to avoid more embarrassment in the 2023 election.
He claimed that, based on Tinubu’s statements and the scenarios caused by his continual slip-ups and gaffes, he should only be running for Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic and not Grand Commander.
“Tinubu may be a successful politician whose lifetime ambition is to be President of Nigeria, but it takes more than being a politician to become Nigeria’s President. Among other things, it takes credibility.
“The fact that everything about Tinubu is shrouded in secrecy should tell us that the APC presidential candidate lacks the credibility to govern a country like Nigeria.
“But more importantly, with the disaster that the APC administration has turned out to be, it will be more catastrophic to have a Tinubu as his successor. Governing Nigeria is not all about identifying surrogates who will man critical political offices for future political gains. continue reading here

“You said 70,000 people left, what average is that out of over 200 million Nigerians?

10. “Restructured Or Repainted,” New Naira Notes Will Replace Old Ones, Emefiele Insists
The newly redesigned naira notes will replace the current ones by January 31st, 2023, according to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele, who has emphasized that it is irrelevant how Nigerians refer to them.
Speaking at the 57th Annual Bankers Dinner in Lagos, Emefiele made reference to criticisms that the new notes did not significantly differ from the current ones other than in color.
He asserts that because the deadline of January 31, 2023, is sacred, anyone in Nigeria has 100 days to return all of the current notes to the banks.
Emefiele continued by saying that individuals who believe the redesign just involves a color change will have no choice but to search for that color after the deadline.
Analysis of the major issues he identified mainly pointed to the massive hoarding of banknotes, with over 85% of the money in circulation being kept outside of the banking system.
At the same time, the amount of money in circulation more than doubled, rising from N1.46 trillion in December 2015 to N3.23 trillion in September 2022. This alarming trend needs to be reversed.
According to him, the effort will reduce the amount of money that is not in the banking system and, as monetary policy becomes more effective, helps in containing inflation.
