Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state has stated the measures to be taken by his administration to cushion the effects of the hardship caused by Naira swap development, revealing that, he will summon Bank managers very soon to interrogate the shortage of new Naira notes in banks across the state.
The Governor said that, Bank Managers should come over and explain to us, why our people are still suffering over this issue of Naira Swap. And I will go to them individually to supervise what is happening and why."
Also, Ganduje challenges that, the untimely implementation of Naira swap policy, was deliberately done by the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emeifiele, as fighting back strategy for failing to get presidential ticket under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Abba Anwar said, Ganduje posed the challenge during electioneering campaign rally, held at Tsanyawa, Sunday, where he presented gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates, alongside senatorial candidate and other candidates.
He emphasized that, "The CBN Governor is only doing this to cause confusion in the forthcoming elections for not just reason.
"He has not been in good mood for long, because he failed to secure Presidential ticket on the platform of our great party, the APC," Ganduje accused Emeifiele.
"Currency redesign is done across the globe, but not in the way we are witnessing in our country. The timing is wrong, the deadline given is very wrong and deliberate," he added.
"We have a plan in the pipeline to start distributing palliatives very soon across all the 44 local governments, to cushion the effect of the hardship caused by the CBN Governor, to our people," Ganduje disclosed.
