Vote riggers pushing CBN to extend till after election – Atiku

Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has alleged that vote riggers are seeking the Central Bank Of Nigeria, CBN, to extend the Naira Swap till after the election.

The former vice president asked the apex bank to immediately examine the measures it has put in place to ensure the circulation of the new naira notes and ease the difficulty currently faced by Nigerians, mainly the rural dwellers

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Atiku campaign council

Part of the statement read: “There should be no further postponement on the new naira regime after the expiration of the February 10 deadline.

“The vote riggers are seeking to push the CBN to extend till after the election when they would have achieved their evil plots.

“The CBN and the Presidency should be steadfast. The merits of the new naira policy far outweigh the little inconvenience we are experiencing.”
