Obasanjo’s Image Should Be On Redesigned Naira Note, Says Atiku
The People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku has said that former president Obasanjo’s image should be on redesigned naira note
One of the three naira notes that are set to be redesigned, according to Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, should have the portrait of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a sequence of tweets on Saturday, Atiku also praised the 85-year-old elder statesman and African Union mediator for facilitating peace talks between the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan rebels following two years of devastating battle that left millions in need of aid in Africa’s second-most populous nation.
“If for nothing else, he is most deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, and I will nominate him when entries are open for nominations.
“Africa is blessed to have a statesman of such impeccable democratic credentials as Chief Obasanjo. A man whose image ought to be in the redesigned Naira note to inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for their nation and continent,” Part of the statement reads.
