Kano Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje says elements of the annulled June 12, 1992, presidential election are regrouping and dangerously masquerading in the prevailing crisis generated by the cash policy to scuttle the nation's hard-earned democracy.
He said the group's latest attempt at that is camouflaging in unknown political parties through the use of legal instruments to further impose an unfeasible cash policy that is taking its toll on the masses in the country.
Reacting to an interim injunction issued by a federal high court in Abuja, stopping the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from extending the 10-day deadline set for the currency swap, the governor noted that the unknown political parties are also allegedly colluding with the main opposition party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to execute this fiendish scheme.
This is contained in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba on Tuesday.
"Open support for the policy by the main opposition party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar also lay bare the grand complicity between the opposition and Apex Bank to deliberately thwart the nation's hard-earned democracy by imposing harsh policies calculated to weaken the masses.
"It is unfortunate that the CBN and its collaborators are insisting unnecessarily on the imposition of an unreasonable time frame for the old naira notes to cease to be legal tender, in total refutation of the obvious national dearth in the necessary technological infrastructure for the process."
"The rigid insistence on the implementation of these harsh, inhuman and insensitive cash policies to a point of neglecting their widespread rejection by the vast majority of Nigerians including the National Assembly and all state governors is an ominous agenda for the undermining of the nation and consequent scurrying of a smooth transition to a freely and fairly elected successive administration."
