The presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADC), Yabagi Sani, says the enemies of Nigeria are behind the introduction of the naira redesign policy.
Faulting the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria while speaking on Tuesday during a television programme, Sani said the policy was done by those against the democratic structure of the country.
He added that the policy was introduced so that the 2023 elections will not hold.
The ADC candidate said, “It is only the enemies of the state that will introduce this kind of thing so that elections will not take place or when it takes place, it takes place under a situation that you can’t guarantee free, fair and credible election.
In his words, “It is only the enemies of the state that will introduce this kind of thing so that elections will not take place or when it takes place, it takes place under a situation that you can’t guarantee free, fair and credible election.
“I don’t know which country changes her currency within two weeks. In other climes, you allow the thing to go on and seamlessly, people are not taken into any difficulties. This is completely bad, the timing and everything you want to talk about it.
“You don’t dislocate their businesses when they are battling with poverty, insecurity and you now come and add this draconian law that has no meaning in terms of what you want to achieve.”
Sani added that the apex bank should have properly disbursed money to commercial banks across the country before coming up with the policy.
