CBN Policy: Emefiele Bitter For Losing APC Presidential Tick

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano.

Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje says the untimely implementation of the Naira swap policy was deliberately done by the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emeifiele as a fighting back strategy for failing to get the presidential ticket under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He made the accusation during a campaign rally for APC candidates at Tsanyawa local government on Sunday.

"The CBN Governor is only doing this to cause confusion in the forthcoming elections for no just reason.

"He has not been in good mood for long because he failed to secure the presidential ticket on the platform of our great party, the APC," said Ganduje.

He clarified 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.

"The timing is wrong, the deadline given is very wrong and deliberate," he said.

As part of the measures taken by the governor to cushion the effects of the hardship caused by Naira swap development, he revealed: "We will summon bank managers very soon to interrogate the shortage of new Naira notes in banks. 

"They should come over and explain to us why our people are still suffering over this issue of 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 distributed palliatives to citizens across all the 44 local governments. 

"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, he urged community leaders to create awareness within their jurisdiction to let people know that the hardship people are facing is single-handedly caused by the CBN Governor to purposely cause confusion in the nation's democratic process.
