In a press release signed by the Spokesman of the State House of Assembly, Akogun Olugbenga Omole, the House condemned the way some banks refused to accept deposits of old notes in Akure despite the Supreme Court’s order and the advice of the Council of States that such notes should not be rejected.

The Speaker, Bamidele Oleyelogun urged the Federal Government to urgently intervene in the matter and also find a lasting solution to the problem of fuel scarcity in order to bring succour to Nigerians.
The Speaker expressed appreciation to the Governor of the State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for his doggedness at ensuring that he is always at the forefront in upholding the rule of law and giving priority to the welfare of the citizens of the State.
Oleyelogun on behalf of the APC Caucus in the House of Assembly expressed optimism that the challenge of fuel and naira scarcity would soon become a thing of the past.
He called on the people of the State to remain steadfast, ensure that the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerges as the next President of Nigeria as he is the only one amongst the Presidential Candidates that is on the side of the people at this trying time.
