There have been insinuations around town that the scarcity of the new Naira notes is a deliberate attempt by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele to frustrate politicians in the general election.
In a recent development, a chieftain and one of the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has insisted that the new Naira scarcity is a plan by the CBN Governor to scuttle the election, and therefore, should be arrested immediately.
Fani-Kayode stated this on Friday, February 3rd, 2023 via his Twitter page.
He wrote; “Let me make this clear. Emefiele has NO intention of releasing new naira notes until March. He wants people to suffer, he wants chaos & he wants to scuttle the election.”
“He is a dangerous pawn in the hands of sinister anti-democratic forces. Remove, arrest & detain him NOW”!
