Obanikoro had on November 14, 2011 filed his petition at the LG Election Petitions Tribunal challenging the declaration of Adeniji as the winner of the election which was held on October 22, 2011.

Forex market reform

Wale Ajomale, 10 Ilojo Crescent, Obanikoro, Lagos State. ‍+23480330346: I appreciate Mr. Henry Boyo’s efforts at ensuring the forex market reform in Nigeria. The Central Bank of Nigeria should be a regulator and not allocate to sell the dollar earnings of the tiers of government but keep dollar certificates in trust for their spending or conversion. I suggest that Messrs Boyo and Ojemaikhire should engage beneficiary stakeholders like the Governors’ Forum, Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Manufacturers, Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, Nigerian Economic Society and other Civil Society Organisations. They will pressurise the Federal Government and the CBN to reform the market and deliver us from World Bank/IMF.
