Naira redesign: CBN deceived president Buhari – Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole has claimed that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, deceived President Muhammadu Buhari with the redesign of the Naira notes. He said the policy was aimed at scuttling this month’s presidential election.

The former Governor made these claims in an interview on Channels Television

According to him, the CBN Governor presented the policy as a way to tackle corruption in view of the forthcoming election adding that he knows the President would have no difficulty accepting the policy.

“I can guess – I was not there – that in obtaining the approval, I believe the CBN deceived the President by amplifying the need to have corruption-free electioneering as if the election is the only project this President has a responsibility for.

“The President Buhari that I know will have no difficulty in agreeing,” Oshiomhole said.
