Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has claimed that the implementation of the naira swap policy was a deliberate act by the Central Bank of Nigeria governor — Godwin Emeifiele, to cause confusion in upcoming elections.
Ganduje said this at a campaign rally held at Tsanyawa, on Sunday.
According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Abba Anwar, the Governor said, “The CBN governor is only doing this to cause confusion in the forthcoming elections over unjustifiable reasons.”
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.
“They should come over and explain to us, why our people are still suffering over this issue of naira Swap. I will visit them individually to supervise what is happening and why.
“We have a plan in the pipeline to start distributing palliatives very soon across all the 44 local governments, so as to cushion the effect of the hardship caused by the CBN governor to our people,” the Governor said.
