The Senator representing Kogi West, Smart Adeyemi, has called on the incoming administration to investigate the circumstances that greeted the naira redesign policy.
Adeyemi specifically urged the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, to ensure that the CBN governor, Godwin Emiefiele, is invited for questioning to shed light on those who were involved.
The lawmaker, who was a guest on Friday’s edition of Channels Television Politics Today lamented the suffering Nigerians went through during the period the policy was initiated.
Asked what he would do if he were to be the president, Adeyemi said, “I will call on Emefiele and others to come and explain what happened and what was the reason behind the redesigning of the naira notes,”
“People died in that period, and people developed strokes because they couldn’t have access to their money. And because you and I survived, we should not care about those who died for what was not their making?
“Some people die due to the situation at that time, that policy killed some people innocently,” he argued.
Adeyemi recalled that the situation could have degenerated into anarchy but for the prompt intervention of the judiciary.
