 And just like the human rights lawyer Femi Falano, human rights lawyer Monde Ubani has berated President Mohamed Buhari for overruling the Supreme Court's order on the all 200, 501,000 Naira notes. Speaking during a live interview, Ubani maintained that the President's intervention should have been to allow the apex court to resolve the matter and not cut short the process. According to him, the President has flagrantly disobeyed the court, which shows a dangerous precedence and a way of taking away the confidence of the country's judicial process. And we are now being joined by another legal practitioner, Deji Awobide. Welcome to news now, Mr Awobide. And you go on the live. Well, it looks to me as if the judiciary is being slapped in the face with the back and forth banter from the court and from the federal government. Well, evidently, if you look at the the artistic of this President, you would find that he's never really shown any serious respect for the court. Right from the time that he's been running for office, I guess, President Abbas al-Jor, all the way down to when he became elected, he's had his own fair share of dealings with the judiciary. And I believe that has provided only a good taste in his mouth. So you would find that from the very beginning, his approach to the judiciary has been one of these days. I mean, it takes me back to when the home of the judges were really, really redid when he assumed office. I mean, there was a lot of outcry against that read. And of course, if it not stopped there, there have been several orders that have been made by the courts that this government has ignored. So I'm not surprised that this government is doing the passes currently doing by trying to circumvent the independence of the judiciary by trying to override what the courts have asked the parties to maintain. The order of injunction that was granted by the Supreme, by the apex court, that's not just any ordinary court, is the apex court of the land. And you have a precedent the very next day after the court proceeding, going around, going about circumventing that particular position. So I'm not surprised that the judiciary is being treated this way. Really, it really is not surprising having regard to the antecedents of the current president. The court was to reconvene on February 22nd before the president's broadcast today. What does the law say about such actions where the court speaks and it is not obeyed? And there's another directive from the central government countering the court's order. Oh, absolutely. It's a very clear case of contempt. I mean, you heard other senior legal practitioners did mention that, I mean, because the action represented is contemptuous of the court. Because what this means is that if you do not, if you as a government do not respect the judiciary, then it, I mean, it literally flows down to the people that did themselves would ignore orders of court. Because you don't forget that it's not just about this president. It's also about the government, it's also about the average, the common man. If the courts make an order, they expect all parties involved to maintain settled school and allow that dispute to be resolved by the courts. Well, unfortunately, you have a situation where the president, who's the number one citizen of the country, who's the leader of the government, has gone ahead in total disregard of the apex court to make the declarations that he made this morning concerning the notes. Don't forget that the apex court had said that the order that was previously granted expatriate would subsist until the hearing of the emotional notices. And I believe that the last proceedings, all parties were asked to file their papers, their briefs of arguments concerning the issues that they placed before the court. And don't also forget that the president himself said in his address this morning that the matter is subjudice. Meaning that the matter is pending before a court of law. Despite acknowledging that the matter is subjudice, he still went ahead to do as he did this morning. That for me is a clear case of content on the path of the government. Particularly when they have a council, the very respected advocates cannot be acting for them there. They have been sued as a party in the proceedings. The issue that the court has been asked to address is the issue that affects the policy. It's from their own policy that the court has been invited to make, to give an opinion, rightly or wrongly, about the policy and the suspension of the old notes. So in a normal society, when the court speaks, everybody listens. But of course, it appears to me that this government as well as content to show that this is a society under their own tenure is not a normal one. And honestly, I'm sure that many of you cannot wait to see the back of this government call me 29. And many Nigerians, just like you and I, and I believe that you know already that some Nigerians still have the old 500 Naira and 1000 Naira, perhaps expecting when the Supreme Court will come up again with its verdict on the new, the old and the new Naira notes. So as we speak, some Nigerians still have these notes with them. And as I said earlier, we're expecting that by 22nd, perhaps they would have been able to deposit before then, before they could hear what the Supreme Court has next to say. So the battle is between two elephants and the ground is suffering. The ground here are Nigerians. What should be the next line of action? Well, as it appears now, it seems to me that based on the address of the president this morning, that the CBN would inform Nigerians as to how to go about depositing the old 1000 Naira notes. Unfortunately, after the expulsion of the apex court was granted, all Nigerians, you know, if they signed a relief, you could see that a lot of commercial activities continued regularly because everybody was awaiting the outcome of the court proceeding. And yesterday, when the courts did adjourn to the 22nd of February, indeed many, many common, the average Nigerians that I met were even telling me and asking me, oh, that the courts have adjourned to 22nd, we can keep spending the money on 22nd, you know. So the banks have refused to accept the money, the old notes. So that has spread panic across the country. You have many people who cannot do regular activities because of this problem that the government has imposed on everybody. And unfortunately, it's a policy that has failed to work and everybody can see that it's not working. And I think it's in acknowledgement of the fact that it's not working that made the president to give the address that he gave this money. But sadly, infusing the 22nd Naira notes back into the economy, well, that's not the problem. I mean, the IA notes, 1000 Naira Naira notes, are the notes that people have more than the 22nd Naira notes. Also, don't forget that the ATMs are not configured for 22nd Naira notes. And of course, the bank will take a while to configure all the ATMs to start dispensatory Naira notes. So basically, you're only compounding the problem. You're not solving the problem, you're compounding it. And the people that will feel it are the average Nigerians. Already it was taught that it was Governor Mifili who was the brain behind all of this policy. But you can see that clearly it's the voice of Jacob and the hand of Isso. Because you can see clearly that the president is the bastard mind of all of this activity. Even though there are conspiratories about whether or not the policy is aimed at ensuring that the politicians do not spend money on election day and all of those things, any policy that is to be introduced must first take into account the realities of these people, the realities of the average Nigerian, the common man who needs to transact, who needs to do business on a daily basis, who does not have the luxury of having an account officer bring money to their house. So you have these politicians who this policy is aimed at. I mean, I did see the CBN governor explaining the policy and its benefits. But of course, those that the policy is aimed at have the means of getting back this money. They have the means of getting these new notes. I do not have more than 1,000 new notes in my wallet. I won't be able to access the new notes. I've been doing transfers and my transfers have been hanging. They've been failing, they've been hanging. So what exactly is the objective for the common man is just creating a lot more problem for the average Nigerian and is now with policy as well thought out. Even though the idea might be impressive on paper, but in reality, when you bring a policy out and you try to execute the policy, and you do find along the way that there are impediments to actually actualizing the aims of the policy, you should reverse back to state of school. This will be, I think the network there won't allow us have further conversation on this.
