Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for his actions, which he alleged were capable of destroying the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor in a viral audio aired by Express Radio monitored by our correspondent on Thursday, spoke on the current Naira scarcity in the country caused by the redesigning of the higher Naira notes, alleging that the President was hell-bent on bringing the APC down.
He pointed out that the timing for the redesigning of the currency was wrong, adding that it could have come long before or after elections.
“If you look at what is happening now, you will feel like crying. Look at human being, he contested severally but he did not win until the initiation of merger (by parties) that saw him winning the election. He spent four years and got re-elected.
“But now that he is leaving office, he is hell-bent on destroying the party on whose platform he emerged victorious. For God’s sake, is it proper for you to form a party and destroy it yourself?” the governor asked apparently referring to President Buhari.
According to Ganduje, the redesigning of the Naira was meant to stop the conduct of the 2023 general elections in order to foist an interim government on the nation.
While pointing out that the policy affects businesses negatively, the governor said it was in view of that, that some governors including him obtained a court order from the Supreme Court to stop the rejection of the old Naira notes and threatened that any bank that refuses to accept the old notes will have their certificates of occupancy revoked in the State.
He further alleged that the Naira swap policy was not only targeted at candidates in the forthcoming elections but was a plot to disrupt democracy and hand over the nation to an interim government to oversee like it happened during the era of Ernest Shonekan in 1993.
