Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has called the opposition parties’ support for the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) naira redesign policy hypocritical.
He stated this on Monday at the Open Theatre, Government House, during the launch of the distribution of palliatives to alleviate the hardships caused by the scarcity of naira notes.
Ganduje said in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Abba Anwar, that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) are wrong to support an ill-timed and anti-people policy.
The statement reads:
To our surprise, opposition parties took the situation to court supporting and protecting the CBN in this ill-timed and anti-people policy. That was not done in the most appropriate way and time. Governors of Bayelsa and Edo are all PDP states and are in the forefront in this blunder.
So also the NNPP came out and said what the governor of Kano State said in rejecting the CBN’s naira swap was wrong, according to them.
I wonder what is wrong in speaking the truth that all Nigerians are seriously suffering because of this anti-human and ill-advised phenomenon.
What the PDP and the NNPP want is for people to continue wallowing in poverty. We will not stop blaming the CBN for this economic blunder. We love our people. Therefore, anything that will disturb their wellbeing must be rejected, till proper channel and good time are put forth.
Ganduje stated that the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, promised Nigerians that if elected, he would end the current hardships brought on by the CBN.
