Compel Tinubu, APC Govs To Release Hoarded Naira Notes, PDP Tasks Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to assuage the pain being experienced by Nigerians over the naira scarcity by demanding that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, governors and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) immediately release the hundreds of billions of new Naira notes reportedly being hoarded by them for vote buying purposes.

Noting Buhari’s broadcast earlier in the day when he acknowledged that he directed the Naira redesign, the PDP said it was clear that it was clearly an APC programme with zero input by the PDP, the opposition in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba, said:

“Our Party had earlier alerted on how APC leaders allegedly sabotaged the system and diverted the new Naira notes so as to create widespread social unrest to justify their plan to derail the 2023 general elections and truncate our democracy.

“The PDP had also exposed how APC governors are allegedly warehousing the new Naira notes in facilities in Lagos, Kano, Kogi, Kaduna, Imo and other States of the country for the purpose of vote buying in the Presidential election.

“In the same vein, our Party raised alarm on how the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign had orchestrated the current cash crunch as a strategy to cause crisis while inciting Nigerians to insurrection with the view to truncating the electoral process having come to the reality of the fact that the APC and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu have been rejected by Nigerians ahead of the polls.

“Our Party sympathizes with Nigerians over the pain, torture and distress brought upon our citizens by the selfish, vicious and anti-people APC leaders. The PDP again salutes the resilience of Nigerians in the face of APC-induced suffering.

“The APC and its Presidential Candidate must come to terms with the fact that Nigerians are determined to vote in the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, come February 25, 2023. The threats and incitement to violence by the Tinubu Campaign cannot deter the people.

“The PDP calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to put every measure in place to guarantee peaceful, free, fair, transparent and credible 2023 general elections as Nigerians are ready to go to the polls in their determination to vote in Atiku Abubakar as the next President of our country,” the PDP said in its submission to Buhari on the naira crisis.
