Bashir Ahmad, the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital Communications, has lambasted Governors Nasir El-Rufai and Abdullahi Ganduje for their angry outbursts over the decision of the regime and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to phase out old naira notes.
I[b]n a series of social media posts on Thursday, the presidential aide claimed both Governor El-Rufai and Ganduje are only angry because the money they have stolen and stashed are now worthless due to the regime’s stance that the old notes are no longer tenderable despite Supreme Court judgment temporarily stopping the plan.[/b]

Both governors have both filed a motion for their states, Kaduna and Kano, to be joined to an open suit brought by some other states in the country before the Supreme Court suit seeking to stop the regime from going forward with the plan.

The presidential media aide also dared both governors to directly deposit the alleged stashed money they are claiming were legally gotten to CBN and Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the legality of the money.

“They have stashed money and now they’re useless,” Mr Ahmad said in the series of posts.

He added: “That’s the reason for all the fuming. Ganduje and co don’t care about the masses. If the money Ganduje and friends are shouting about is legit, why don’t they deposit it to CBN, the EFCC and NFIU will wait for them to verify.”

Mr Ahmad’s words were in response to Messrs El-Rufai and Ganduje’s constant criticism of the regime’s plan to render the old N200, N500, N1000 notes an illegal tender ahead of the February 25 presidential election, with many speculating the policy was put to punish some candidates during the poll.

They have also ordered residents in their states to continue carrying out their day-to-day transactions with the old notes and even Mr Ganduje had threatened businesses in Kano, including commercial banks, with government sanctions if they refused to accept the currency.

On Thursday, Mr Buhari ordered the CBN to begin releasing only the old N200 note into circulation with the new one for next 60 days while reaffirming that the higher notes, N500 and N1000 are now illegal tender, a move that many including House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila characterized as “disregard” for rule of law.

Nothing will benefit the country in any long term...let me tell you exactly what will happen

1. The entire monetary system will take a down turn from now and it's people like you it will affect not any politician
2 . It would trigger a new wave if inflation that would affect people like you the most and not the politicians
3. It will lead to wide scale unrest that would affect people like you the most and not the Politicians
4 it might derail our democracy
5.it would lead to needless insecurity and loss of life of everyday people
6. It would cause more jobs losses as banks begin to fail and can meet their obligation and the erosion of almost a million POS agents who have been surviving through agency banking.

7 .it might take a decade fro Nigerian Monetary system to recover from this


8. There is no win here for the common man

APC is a sorrowful party, how well meaning Nigerians still supporting them is a wonder.

We have 36 states in Nigeria. Only less than 6 governors are fighting this policy. They’ve got something sinister.

God help us. Is only brainless children of devil-Oduduwpigs will support bullion van drug addict candidate.
