Governor Abiodun had vowed to deal with “every market, trader, petrol station, banker” refusing old naira notes
But shockingly, in another video, obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, an attendant at a filling station belonging to Governor Dapo Abiodun has been captured rejecting the old N500 and N1000 notes, despite a warning by the governor against the act.
Mr Abiodun threatened to lock up stores, banks, and supermarkets among other businesses which have refused to accept the banknotes as legal tender.
The governor further asked residents to report to him directly any case of rejection of the old notes, saying he would shut down any business involved.
Despite the governor’s threat, banks and businesses in the state have been rejecting the old naira notes.
But in a new video, the attendant at the governor’s own filling station told a motorist that the station was not accepting old naira notes.
The motorist, who spoke in Yoruba, retorted, “Why will you not take old notes? The governor has ordered that businesses should accept old notes, or is this not the governor’s fuel station? No problems, thank you.”
