A check revealed that Omosede Igbinedion who is seeking re-election to the lower chamber of the National Assembly, was reportedly swapped her old currency notes in First Bank Plc located at the King square and left the facility around 2p.m on Friday.

Clad in a floating gown in company of one her personal assistants, Omosede, walked through the stairs, while she was in the Bank, before she left at about 2:p.m.
