Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 general elections, insists one of the 3 naira notes about to be redesigned should have an imprint of the image of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Atiku, tweeted on Saturday saluting the 85-year-old elder statesman and African Union’s mediator for leading peace talks between the Ethiopian Government and Tigrayan rebels after two years of devastating conflict that have claimed thousands of lives with properties leaving millions needing aid in Africa’s 2nd most populous country.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) had it in a statement this week agreeing to “permanently silence the guns” and end the two years of conflict in northern Ethiopia.
