Speaking with journalists after the adjournment, Bello said he and El-Rufai were in the apex court to ensure that justice is obtained for the masses who are suffering the impact of the policy at this time.
The Supreme Court hearing was attended by governors Yahaya Bello of Kogi state and Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, alongside a delegation of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN.
“That’s why we are here today because Nigerians are suffering. As a result of this CBN muddle-up cashless versus currency redesign. That’s why we are here. And, I and all the governors want to urge all Nigerians that we’re all suffering,” Bello said.
