A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, says professional prostitutes known in local parlance as run girls are among the biggest opponents of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s cash limits.
In a recent directive, the Godwin Emefiele-led CBN compelled banks to ensure over-the-counter cash withdrawals by individuals and corporate entities do not exceed N100, 000 and N500, 000, respectively, per week.
The apex bank also directed banks to load only N200 and lower denominations into their ATM.
Reacting in a Friday post on Facebook, Omokri said that no Nigerian needs more than N100,000 in cash weekly.
He said that only bandits and sugar daddies afraid of being caught by their wives were inclined to hold more than N100,000 in cash weekly.
“There is no Nigerian that needs more than ₦100k in cash weekly.
“Other than paying bus conductors and buying groceries, every other transaction can be done cashless.
“It is kidnappers and bandits and sexual bandits (urgent 2k girls) that are fighting this policy through their political godfathers and clients in high places.
“The bandits have billions at stake, because that is the only way they can sustain the ransoms they demand.
“The urgent 2 k girls want cash to continue, because they know that married men are reluctant to go cashless to pay them because their wives can follow the paper trail back to them!” Omokri said.
