Naira redesign policy: Buhari destroying the party that elected him – Ganduje

Governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Ganduje has said that the Naira redesign policy is the President’s way of trying to destroy the party that elected him.

He wondered why president Buhari and CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele did not think of the policy seven years ago and why it had to be on the eve of an election.

Ganduje stated this when he spoke in Kano after he met with the Forum of Former Parliamentarians, North-West zone late Wednesday, February 15. 

”Imagine someone has been contesting without winning elections until after a merger was formed. He won the election and spent four years and re-contested again and he won, now that he is about to go, he is doing nothing but to destroy the party that elected him,? Ganduje said

”What is wrong with doing it after elections? Why hasn’t he done this in the past seven years? What is the meaning of all these? This CBN governor is not a politician; he doesn’t know anything about politics. How can a politician enjoy this policy Imagine how as a leader you watch banks engulfed by fire, if not that the democracy has decayed, will that be possible?

”How is it possible when the World Bank said the policy is wrong, the IMF said it is wrong, other leaders said it is wrong, but you said you need seven days to think over it? The poor man selling vegetables will have his goods rotten (before the end of the thinking period), that is why I close down one supermarket for rejecting the old notes. The Supreme Court has said the old notes are still a legal tender, that is why any bank that refuses to collect, I will revoke their certificate and if they do that, they cannot work?, he added
