The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu has alleged that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) naira redesign policy was targeted at his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
ADC standard bearer asserted that the Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai, has now confirmed his speculations.
Kachikwu, who made this claim at a press briefing in Abuja on Friday, said not only was the policy poorly implemented and ill-timed, it was purely targeted at Tinubu.
While complaining about the hardship the policy has created Kachikwu stated that the desperation to drag the APC flag bearer down should not affect the masses.
He said that “The naira redesign was ill-timed, poorly implemented, and designed purely to target the APC Presidential Candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu.
“Gov. Nasir El Rufai Kaduna State has now confirmed this. I again warn that the desperation to stop Tinubu shouldn’t plunge Nigeria into a state of anarchy.
“It’s heartbreaking to see that Nigerians have died, banks burnt, property destroyed, and millions suffering as they desperately try to access an unavailable naira.
“Tens of millions of Nigerians operate within the informal sector and earn daily wages between N500 to N10,000 in cash.
“Most of them live in unbanked or underbanked parts of Nigeria and they now bear the brunt of this ill-conceived policy.
“Don’t we’ve any conscience as leaders? How do we go to bed at night knowing that Nigerians are queuing outside banks all through the night just to get N5000?
“Poor Nigerians bear the burden of the failures associated with this recoloring.”
