WAY FORWARD TO WIN THE NEXT ELECTION OF MARCH 11 - BY CARRY GO

As the Presidential and National Assembly Elections come to a conclusion, we can all testify to what transpired in Lagos State, It's so unfortunate that, Lagos State lost to an unstructured Political Party, "LABOUR PARTY", nevertheless, we must forge ahead to win the next election which will take place on the 11th of  March, 2023. It saddened my heart when I heard about the results of Lagos State. Lagos has been a Progressive state since 1999, and no party has defeated our party since that year. What went wrong? How did we get to this low level? WAY FORWARD 👉 Zonal, Ward and LG Meeting: Our Zonal, Ward and LG/LCDA meeting must continue, without any form of hindrance.  👉The Governor should meet with the Chairmanship and Councilorship Aspirants before the Governorship and House of Assembly Elections, because they are also grassroot politicians in their respective LG/LCDA. 👉The Governor should send his loyalists to meet with aggrieved members of the party and reconcile wi

We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience our earlier publication must have caused the public as we verified the earlier news from the CBN social media verified page. We urge our readers to dislodge our previous publication as we ensure to disseminate appropriate information to the public.

BREAKING: CBN orders banks to collect old N500, N1,000 notes

The Central Bank of Nigeria has ordered banks to start collecting the old N500 and N1,000 notes from the public with immediate effect. It, however, pegged the maximum amount the banks can collect at N500,000. The CBN maintained that the old currencies were no more legal tender. A source from the bank said the CBN ordered the banks to collect the monies instead of going to the CBN office following difficulties encountered in getting access to the bank. A CBN official said, “Go to your bank but fill out the form before you go. Go with the reference code you generate. With your code, banks will collect it from you. But if it is more than 500,000, you will go to the CBN and deposit it.” Earlier, the CBN opened a portal on its website and made it mandatory for those willing to return old notes to fill and generate a code. On Thursday, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, ordered the banks to make the old N200 notes available to Nigerians. This was after the President, Major General Muhammadu
