Those behind June 12 annulment masquerading behind ongoing cash crunch – Ganduje
Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has alleged that those behind the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election are regrouping and dangerously masquerading in the prevailing crisis generated by the naira policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Ganduje who disclosed this through the state Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, claimed that the elements are colluding with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to deliberately thwart the nation’s hard-earned democracy by imposing harsh policies calculated to weaken the masses.
According to him, the group’s latest attempt is camouflaging in unknown political parties exploiting legal instruments to bar the Federal Government from further extending the deadline for the new Naira notes.
Ganduje said: “It is unfortunate that the CBN and its collaborators are insisting unnecessarily on the imposition of an unreasonable time frame for the old Naira notes to cease to be legal tender, in total refutation of the obvious national dearth in the necessary technological infrastructure for the process.
“The rigid insistence on the implementation of these harsh, inhuman and insensitive cash policies to a point of neglecting their widespread rejection by the vast majority of Nigerians including the National Assembly and all state governors, is an ominous agenda for the undermining of the nation and consequent scurrying of a smooth transition to a freely and fairly elected successive administration”, he added.
