The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the Attorney General of the Federation and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, of deceiving President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party said the AGF and the CBN must respect the interim injunction order on the naira notes re-design issued by the Supreme Court.
Speaking after the much anticipated meeting with the governors elected on the platform of the party, the National Chairman of APC,
Senator Abdullahi Adamu, urged Buhari to intervene in resolving issues caused by the new naira note re-design and the cashless economic policy.
Adamu also asked the president to respect the order of the court. He said, “Without prejudice or whatsoever to the case that is lying at the Supreme Court at this point in time, that has to do with the issue of currency re-design.
“We note very seriously that the programme and its implementation is causing tremendous difficulties to the people of Nigeria and to the national economy.
“That we urge the Attorney General of the Federation and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to respect the Supreme Court order of interim injunction which is still subsisting.
“That the meeting is urging his Excellency, President Buhari, to intervene in resolving issues that are causing this great difficulties to the economy.”
Adamu said contrary to speculations, the party’s leadership and governors elected on its platform under the aegies of Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) were on the same page on this matter.
Also speaking, Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi and Chairman PGF, expressed satisfaction on the party’s ongoing presidential campaign across the country.
Bagudu said he was very proud about the conduct of party’s members and its presidential candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu, adding that the governors and the party’s leadership are working in unity to achieve electoral victory.
“The Director-General of the campaign and indeed, governors and the party’s candidates across the country have been doing a tremendous job of mobilising the Nigerian populace.
“And we are very impressed with the support of the majority of Nigerians,” he said.
The governors of Kaduna, Kogi, Jigawa, Yobe, Zamfara, Plateau, Ekiti, Niger, Kebbi, Gombe, Lagos and Nasarawa states as well as the deputy governors of Imo and Katsina states were present at the meeting. Tinubu also attended the meeting, which lasted for about three hours.
