Haley’s only major opponent so far in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is former president Donald Trump

“That means Republicans are doing something wrong,” Haley said, adding that the party needed to “stop talking about old issues. And we need to start looking forward”. Last November, the hard-right Bolduc, who at times embraced Trump's stolen election conspiracy theory, failed to win a US Senate seat in New Hampshire, while voters re-elected Republican governor Chris Sununu, a far more moderate voice than Trump’s.The Exeter “town hall meeting” by Haley, a former UN ambassador, was an opportunity to boost her national profile and build momentum in a state that plays a key role in picking presidents.
“No more calling names, no more obtuse statements, no more lunacy around denying elections. No more lunacy will get me half way there” to voting Republican in 2024, said Leon Nicholas, a manufacturing consultant from nearby Stratham. Some, like Craig Ostroff, a pharmacist, described Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who is thought to be mulling a run for the White House, as “interesting” but added, “his policies are kind of scary to me”.Haley kicked off her speech by describing her career as a state legislator and South Carolina governor. She also highlighted her work as Trump's US ambassador to the UN as showing that she can stand up to geopolitical foes, including China and Russia.
In the first days of her campaign, Haley has stressed the need for generational change. Trump is 76, and Biden, who is expected to seek re-election but has not officially launched a campaign, is 80.

Nigeria Extends Use of Old Naira Notes Amid Cash CrisisPresident Muhammadu Buhari has directed the country's central bank to release the old 200 naira banknotes back into circulation and run concurrently with the new ones until April 10, 2023. However, he said that the old 500 and 1,000 naira banknotes are no longer valid and must be taken to the central bank through designated channels. The Supreme Court temporarily suspended the February 10, 2023 deadline to stop the use of old banknotes, which had caused a cash crisis in the country. There have been angry protests in towns and cities as people are struggling to obtain the new banknotes. In November 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) launched new banknotes. The new notes came into circulation on December 15, 2022. The CBN said the redesign was meant to address insecurity, tackle counterfeiting and force excess cash back into the banking system.
