Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has given reasons why the face of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be on the redesigned Naira note.
GoldenNewsNg reports that the former Vice-President disclosed this via his Twitter page on Saturday, praising Obasanjo for successfully negotiating a cessation of hostilities between the Ethiopian government and the Tigrayans, ending the two-year conflict.
According to Atiku, former President’s face should be on the Naira note as an inspiration to future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for their nation and continent.
He wrote, “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.
“If for nothing else, he is most deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, and I will nominate him when entries are open for nominations.
“On behalf of my family, I congratulate you, President Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, for successfully ending the Ethiopia-Tigray conflict. And I thank God for the gift of wisdom and foresight He gave you, which you have used creditably to steer Nigeria and Africa on the right path. -AA”
