The naira redesign policy has caused a lot of havoc and no doubt is the most challenging of all the government policies implemented.
Oppositions are quick to jump on it as a political tool to critics the ruling party, and surprisingly showed support for it. Not because they think its the most pressing need of the country nor being implemented at the appropriate time, but because they think some element in the ruling APC already have the old naira stack in anticipated to buy vote. Even the main opposition candidates Atiku and Obi, has spoken from both side of the mouth while following the trend and drawing narrative that suits their political advantage.

APC presidential candidate, Tinubu was the first to criticize it at a rally in Ogun state, and at that point Nigerians were yet to feel the heat, so not much think he meant well, most people concluded he has ‘bullions’ stashed for vote buying. As the situation became worse, and the APC governors and aspirants, having seen that the populace could use it to unleash a protest vote against them, started voicing out, forcing CBN to extend till 10th of Feb. Now that a supreme court ruling has been secured to prevent the government from enforcing the 10th deadline, the government will have no choice than to comply, being the apex court. The poor note design, appalling implementation, wrong timing, and supreme court judgment, only allude to the fact from APC quarters that CBN governor is out for blood and being used by the opposition. Now that the whole things seem to have backfired on CBN, with sudden remorse as against the initial arrogance, Tinubu seems to be vindicated, and his outburst justified. He can go ahead to position himself as the voice of the masses, which was loud and clear when the need arose. He can campaign along that line to portray himself as friend of the masses, voice of the voiceless and a snippet of what is administration will be.

How this can be used as a political tool depends on if or not the mass will buy the narrative.
