DAILY POST
A week to the 2023 general elections, all is now clear that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is going to the polls as a divided house.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the leader of the party, is at the centre of attacks by his one time loyal and close friends.
Governors on the party’s platform are on the offensive against the President, with some of them declaring openly that the President’s orders with regards to the Naira redesign policy would not be obeyed.
Buhari had in a national broadcast on Thursday approved the restoration of the old N200 notes as legal tender. He, however, said the February 10 deadline for the old N1000 and N500 notes remains.
Buhari said, “To further ease the supply pressures, particularly to our citizens, I have given approval to the CBN that the old N200 bank notes be released back into circulation.
“And that it should also be allowed to circulate as legal tender with the new N200, N500, and N1000 banknotes for 60 days from February 10, 2023 to April 10 2023 when the old N200 notes cease to be legal tender.”
But Governors on the platform of his party, the APC would not have it.
They are insisting the policy was designed by ‘certain elements’ in the presidency, to stop the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu from winning the presidential election.
