Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and his Kogi state colleague, Yahaya Bello are currently in the premises of Supreme Court, to monitor the proceedings in a suit instituted by their states against the Federal Government on old Naira notes.

It was gathered that the two governors arrived the court room around 8:30am in company of their followers and top government functionaries.

The New Diplomat reports that the Supreme Court is expected to hear the suit challenging the powers of the federal government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop the use of the old N200, N500 and N1,000.
