Speaking to correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja on Thursday, he however declined to give the exact number of state chief executives involved.
The anti-graft agency had previously revealed that three governors were being watched on the suspicion that may attempt to launder stashed of cash in their possession that they may not be able to lodge in the bank before the deadline by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to return old notes for redesign.
He maintained that the huge amount of the country’s currency outside the possession of the CBN makes tracking of financial crimes difficult, noting that the naira redesigning is an opportunity for the government to regain control over flow of cash in the country.
