According to the cleric, printing more of the new notes will run Nigeria into a big loss, which can be avoided by merely withdrawing it.
Primate Ayodele said the old design is perfect for Nigeria and should be the only legal tender in the country.
His words:
‘’The CBN governor should withdraw the new notes designed by former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele. The money will run them to a big loss; he should put an end to it.
‘’The money is a bad omen to Nigeria, it is marine spirit money. I don’t know who advised Emefiele but that colour is satanic. We should stop spending that money; let’s return to the former naira notes only.’’
What awaits CBN governor Cardoso - Ayodele prophesies
Meanwhile, Primate Ayodele also released a prophecy regarding the tenure of the newly appointed CBN governor, Cardoso.
He said the CBN boss will do better but will have issues with politicians and banks, just as he warned him against some policies that would affect his success.

Primate Ayodele also advised Cardoso to work on digital money.
According to the cleric, the CBN boss should leave the current tax duties and Value Added Tax (VAT) as they currently are.
He said tampering with them will negatively affect the economy.
Emefiele and the naira notes redesign
In 2022, Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, oversaw a redesign of the country's naira notes.
He said the initiative aimed to enhance security features and update the design to align with contemporary standards. However, the redesign also became a subject of controversy with political undertones.

The cleric had talked tough after Emefiele insisted on January 31, 2023, as the deadline for the old naira notes to be invalid.
The cleric said the masses were the major casualties.
