KANO state Governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has challenged the implementation of Naira Swap policy, deliberately done by the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emeifiele, to destroy the ruling APC throughout the Country.
He described the Apex bank boss efforts as a ploy to fight back the party for his inability to get the Presidential ticket under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). During the Party Primaries.
He posed the challenge during an electioneering campaign rally, held at Tsanyawa, on Sunday, where he presented gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates, alongside Senatorial Candidate and other Candidates.
Ganduje emphasized that “The CBN Governor is only doing this to cause confusion in the forthcoming elections for not just reason.
He has not been in good mood for long, because he failed to secure a Presidential ticket on the platform of our great party, the APC.”
Insisting that, Kano state government and APC in the state are totally against the action of the CBN Governor.
“Currency redesign is done across the globe, but not in the way we are witnessing in our country.
He said the timing is wrong, the deadline given is very wrong and deliberate,” he said.
“Part of the measures taken by the governor to cushion the effects of the hardship caused by Naira swap development said “We will summon Bank Managers very soon to interrogate the shortage of the New Naira notes in banks across the state.
They should come over and explain to us, why our people are still suffering over this issue of the Naira Swap. And I will go to them individually to supervise what is happening and why.”
Governor Ganduje reminded that, during the COVID-19 pandemic the state government had distributed palliatives to citizens across all the 44 local governments.
Disclosing that, “We have a plan in the pipeline to start distributing palliatives very soon across all the 44 local governments, to cushion the effect of the hardship caused by the CBN Governor, to our people.”
At the palaces of the District Heads of Kunchi and Tsanyawa local governments, the governor urged the Community leaders to create awareness within their jurisdiction to let people know that the hardship people are facing is singlehandedly caused by the CBN Governor, to purposely cause confusion in our democratic process.
