The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization, on Friday, blamed the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the current cash crunch in the country, describing him as the real enemy of Nigerians.
The accusation was contained in a statement by spokesperson of the campaign, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in response to the claim by the APC flag bearer that his PDP opponent, Atiku Abubakar, is an enemy of the people after his advice to the Federal government not to extend the deadline for currency swap.
Atiku had indeed urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to review its current circulation strategy to make cash more available to Nigerians.
In the Friday statement, the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization insisted that “Tinubu is the mastermind of the new Naira notes crunch, who has made the people to suffer untold hardship ever known in our national history.”
The Campaign team alleged a high-level racket that has been sabotaging the system, intercepting and diverting millions of new Naira notes meant for distribution to Nigerians, rather for selfish ‘Emilokan’ purposes.
