Abuja, Feb.17, 2023: Frustrated by the cash crisis facing the country, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has hit hard on President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he did not achieve anything in his two terms as President of Nigeria.
Ganduje stated this during a televised programme, stressing that the Nigerian President is not showing his love for the people with the recent policies.
He said in Hausa: “In the first term, nothing of great importance can point out as his achievement, same as in his second term. So, why is he bringing out all these policies now? Why not seven years ago? He just wants to collapse the party that produced him.
“How could care for Nigerians and then propose such a policy as the naira redesign? Why not seven years ago or after the election? This shows he is not a good leader; if he is, he would not remain calm seeing people setting properties on fire out of frustration.
“This is why we went to the court and stand against them because we know that their motive is to prevent free and fair elections. By God’s grace, all of their efforts will be in vain because we will reverse all these policies as soon as we win the election.”
Ganduje also weighed in on the Supreme Court order regarding the usage of old notes and the circulation of the new notes.
“People’s businesses are suffering, and you are asking for more time. I’ve ordered the closure of any supermarket that rejects old naira notes.
“Supreme Court recognises the notes, and you are asking banks not to accept the notes. Who is more powerful between the Court and them?”
