Governor of Kaduna State Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said that evil people are using President Muhammadu Buhari to fight and defeat the political party (APC) that gave him the platform to serve Nigeria.
El-Rufai said that those people who are using the president as an instrument to defeat the APC are doing so because they failed in their bid to force their own candidate on the party during the June 2022 primaries.
The governor stated this on Thursday during an address to the people of Kaduna amid the scarcity of new naira notes after the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, redesigned N200, N500 and N1000 notes.
Wakadaily reported that president Buhari directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to release old N200 notes into circulation to co-exist with new N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes for 60 days.
He however, added that the old N500 and N1,000 banknotes are no longer legal tender in the country.
Reacting, El-Rufai noted that the Buhari government disobeyed the February 8th ruling of the Supreme Court by continuing to say the February 10 deadline stands, adding that “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.”
He added, “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.”
