Evil People Are Using Buhari To Defeat APC – El-Rufai | READ DETAILS
Kaduna State governor, Nasiru El-Rufai has continued to voice out against the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s naira policy and the backing it has received from President Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting to the president’s Thursday national broadcast on the new naira policy and the scarcity challenge, El-Rufai lamented that the President chose to disregard the Supreme Court’s ruling which ordered the CBN to allow the old and new naira notes coexist pending when it gives a final judgment on the suit filed against the policy.
The governor alleged that some ‘evil people’ whose preferred candidate didn’t get the presidential ticket of the APC, are using President Buhari to fight against democracy and to ensure that APC is defeated at the presidential polls.
“It is shocking to see the blatant violation of the subsisting and continuing order of the Supreme Court that ALL the old and new notes should continue to be legal tender until it gives judgment in the case filed by the Kaduna State Government along with several others.”
“The address by the President earlier this morning limiting the legal tender status of old notes to only N200 amounts to total disregard and disobedience of the ruling of February 8th which was extended further yesterday by the Supreme Court.
“The misguided action of the Attorney-General to mislead the President into engaging in this public violation of the order of the highest court of the land shows how desperate the policy architects are to cause national chaos, by showing open contempt for the judiciary.”
“These evil people using the instrumentality of the Federal Government and the President as convenient covers are willing to truncate our democracy because they have personally lost out.
“They are massively deploying resources and tools to defeat the political party that gave us the platform to serve the country just because they could not impose the candidates of their choice. Let us not help them” El-Rufai stated.
