‘Naira Crunch is CBN-Induced COVID for Nigerians’ – Ganduje
POLITICS DIGEST – Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has described the hardship caused by the CBN’s naira redesign policy as ‘Covid-23’.
This is just as the Kano State Government has commenced the distribution of palliatives to residents of the State, as part of cushioning the untold hardship faced by many indigenes of the State as a result of the naira crunch.
Speaking on Monday during the distribution of the palliative at the government house, Ganduje, said that Kano, being the most populous state in the country, is the most affected by the “unfortunate development”.
He said the beneficiaries of the palliatives are from all 44 LGAs of the state.

“We didn’t invite this situation, neither did we pray for it. We don’t welcome it at all. We gave similar palliatives during the COVID-19 days.
“Today our citizens are being faced with COVID-23 caused by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“We earlier thought it was a simple disease, but unfortunately it turned out to be a very serious virus.
“This virus which came from the CBN has affected all our commercial banks, our POS, our ATM machines, and all other things associated with this.
“We will not stop blaming the CBN for this economic blunder. We love our people. Therefore, anything that will disturb their well-being must be rejected.”
The governor said that Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to stop the hardship if elected.
“Our candidate Sen. Bola Tinubu has promised Nigerians that when he is elected in the forthcoming election, he will make sure that he puts a stop to the current hardship,” Ganduje said.
