Bello added that: “Truly, the Honourable Members of our National Assembly acted promptly and thus deserve the highest commendation not only by Kulen Allah Cattle Rearer Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) but by all well-meaning Nigerians.
“At this crucial time, they proved to Nigerians and the entire world that they are good representatives who are there to defend the interest of the people as well as the nation’s economy.
“It is in line with their courageous and patriotic actions that, on behalf of the entire members of our association and other good people of Nigeria that we passionately wish to most respectfully appeal to them to kindly remain resolute in their very strong legislative stand to defend/safeguard the interest of their fatherland and that of our vulnerable and down trodden masses, by making sure that at any Consititutional cost including mounting excessive pressure on Mr President to force the Central Bank Governor reverse his dust raising decision.
“What we are humbly advising them to do is, since (he) CBN governor is saying there is no going back on the ultimatum for the withdrawal of old currency notes, they should therefore use their legislative power to make him do the needful that will satisfy the generality of Nigerians. Majority of Nigerians are calling for the extension of the period for the withdrawal of the old currency notes to December 2023.”
Bello added that the actions of the National Assembly is viewed by KACRAN, as an act in strong defence of the Nigerian masses.

A female family member linked to suspected ISWAP terrorists has surrendered to troops operating in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
Sources disclosed that the woman surrendered at about 10:08 a.m. on May 19 to troops of the 81 Division Task Force Battalion operating within Sector 1 Area of Responsibility.
The female surrenderer reportedly came out from Gargash village in Bama LGA and voluntarily presented herself to the troops.
Military sources said she was subsequently profiled and documented in line with existing procedures for further necessary action.
The surrender is the latest in a series of defections involving insurgents and their family members in the North-East, following sustained military offensives and clearance operations targeting terrorist enclaves across the region.
Security sources said ongoing counterterrorism operations had continued to exert pressure on insurgent groups operating within the Lake Chad Basin and Sambisa forest areas, leading to increasing cases of surrender by fighters and their relatives.
The military has maintained that surrendered individuals are subjected to profiling, intelligence gathering and other procedures in accordance with extant operational guidelines.
