Festus Keyamo, the spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has stated that the court case against the redesigned naira policy has demonstrated that the APC-led Federal Government is practicing true federalism.
Keyamo believes that the widespread opposition to the policy shows that the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, would ensure true federalism if elected.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that some APC governors had sued the Federal Government in protest of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s naira redesign policy (CBN).
During a forum with journalists in Abuja, Keyamo insisted that the ruling party has demonstrated that it will not sell the country if elected in the upcoming election.
He said;
They should support APC because APC is now displaying the character of a true federation where the parties can disagree with the federal government.
Don’t forget that it was Tinubu that started it long ago when he was governor, he was always taking the federal government to court on every issue to tell you that the parts of the country can disagree with the federal government.
We are not going to sell off Nigerians because of party politics. That is what the governors have shown the world that we are not prepared to sell you out because of loyalty to the centre.
Speaking further, the APC stalwart stated that the court case would not affect the APC’s chances at the polls.
It is those who don’t mean well in the implementation whereas President Muhammadu Buhari means very well.
You know the President is the anti-corruption champion of Africa. What he is doing is a clear indication that he is holding fair to his principle till the last day.
Every single governor that has gone to court fighting for the masses, fighting for the people to get succour, they are all APC governors.
Now the opposition interprets it to mean that the APC governors are looking for money to buy votes, that is why they are fighting to get the policy reversed, Keyamo said.
