Naira Redesign: El-Rufai, Other APC Figures Speaking Up Because Of Elections – Atiku
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Governor Nasir El-Rufai and other All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains complaining about the naira design policy are only doing so because it is election season.
There has been outrage across the country over the inability of Nigerians to access the naira.
On Friday morning, governors of the ruling party held a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, where they sought his intervention.
The governors, particularly El-Rufai, have been very critical of the policy, lamenting its effect on the masses.
But in a statement, which Phrank Shaibu, his Special Assistant on Public Communication issued on his behalf, Atiku said the APC chieftains have ulterior motive.
“The remarks credited to the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai concerning the crisis arising from the currency scarcity across the country comes across as a low point in the profile of the self-acclaimed Accidental Civil Servant governor.”
“At a point when the masses of Nigeria are groaning under the weight of the currency crunch, it remains inglorious that the Kaduna State governor would, rather than sympathize with the masses, prefer to go on political entanglement over the issue.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the currency crisis, as it stands today, is a mess created by the APC and it will be imprudent of the Kaduna State governor or anyone else to associate the PDP or its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar with the crisis.”
Atiku wondered why the APC chieftains had not spoken about some policies considered to be against the interest of the common man.
“It is curious why Governor el-Rufai and other elements in the APC had to wait this long before they found it contingent to speak in disapproval of policies initiated by their own political party. Perhaps, it is because for them, self-interest in an election season is more important than public interest.”
“As a matter of fact, the lingering fuel scarcity and, indeed, the currency crisis of which el-Rufai so bitterly complained about did not just start today. In major cities across the country, Nigerians have been contending with the problem of fuel scarcity for almost two years in some places like the Federal Capital Territory, while el-Rufai and others crying foul in the APC turned blind eyes to the plight of Nigerians.
“On the contrary, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP have persistently brought the attention of the country to the sufferings of Nigerians by the APC administration in the past almost eight years.
“Nigerians surely know better who loves them more between Atiku who has remained on the side of the masses and the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu who has never come out in defense of the people against the hardship that the APC has subjected the country to since it took power in 2015.”
Common PDP, cut us some slacks. Make your noises, but every politician who knows his onions understanfs what’s at play here. Wallahi, by Allah, Jagaban is beyond you guys. Jagaban has paid his dues in the Nigerian project. And since Atiku said God does not answer the prayers of the masses, let him wait and see. The masses prayers against him will be manifestly answered by the God of Adam, Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad SAW.
After all the meetings and payments allegedly given to bankers and Fuel major marketers to subvert the progress of the masses and the nation, on the foundation that most of them became relevant today as a result of the favours done to them during the 16 years of PDP misrule and they must return the favour, these evil machinations and manouvrings shall not avail the PDP.
God’s will, insha Allah, Jagaban is next President of Nigeria.
They deceive themselves thinking they are deceiving people.
God will not allow anyman who will sell our refinaries to his friends to be our President. Tufiakwa. Allah will not allow it. It was said that they systematically make moribond national assets like nepa, nitel and others so that they can buy them cheap, which they did. But at who’s expense? All of us.
If you’re foolish enough to mortgage your life and the future of generations yet unborn over a pot of porridge, thunder without slippers fire you. Your mumu for done do by now nah. Wake up, collect your money and vote Jagaban.
No politician has been building bridges of friendship across the geopolitical zones in the past 40 years and has made leaders out his followers like Jagaban.
No one. This is the true Hallmark of a transformational leader per excellent.
Just recently, the United States of America is building the most expensive embassy it has never built anywhere else, in Lagos, at Atlantic City, VI, on land reclaimed from the sea which was thought of and executed under President In Wait Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Stop the hate. Give to Ceaser what belongs to him. Nigeria deserves to be greater, and PBAT has the magic wand, the intellect, the connection, the capacity, the honesty, the foresight, the ability and the precedent in Lagos to do it. May Allah make things easy for you, my President in wait. Insha Allah.
