The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has described the presence of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, at the wedding Fatiha of Amir, the son of Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, as a sign of a united Nigeria.

Akpabio, who was speaking after the event in Kano on Friday, noted that the presence of many high-profile personalities at the wedding ceremony attests to the fact that Senator Barau is a peaceful man of the people.

“You can see that even Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and his people are here; this tells you that Nigeria will remain united as one entity,” he said.

The wedding Fatiha, graced by Vice President Kashim Shettima, was between Amir and Bilkisu Aliyu Sani Madaki, the daughter of the Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Aliyu Sani Madaki.

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been dragged to court over the floating of Naira currency.

Falana disclosed this while speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Friday.

Recall that the apex bank reportedly told Deposit Money Banks to freely float the naira against the dollar and other international currencies in June.

The policy was announced at a time when the naira traded between 730 and 755 to the dollar at the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window.

But, Falana described the decision of the CBN to float the naira as ‘illegal’ and being challenged in court.

He said, “There’s no provision for floating the naira. It’s illegal. You say, ‘The value of the naira will be determined by market forces.’ That is not there in the law,” he said.
