The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, have been accused of stockpiling newly redesigned naira notes in order to buy votes in the next elections.

According to news sources, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made the charge in a statement issued on Sunday by Debo Ologunagba, its National Publicity Secretary.

The PDP criticized Nigerians’ tremendous anguish and distress as a result of their inability to acquire new naira notes due to the purported nefarious acts of corrupt APC leaders who are subverting the system.

 

It stated that the APC’s anguish, sorrow, and misery inflicted on the country will be forgotten when the PDP’s flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, takes office on May 29.

The opposition party urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to be cognizant of the daily hardship of Nigerians.

It also urged banks to take immediate action to halt the situation by establishing proper security and effective monitoring of the cash distribution process.

The statement reads: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expresses optimism that the hopelessness and anguish brought upon our nation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration will be a thing of the past when the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar assumes office as president come May 29, 2023

“The PDP decries the excruciating pain and distress being faced by Nigerians arising from their inability to access the new naira notes occasioned by the reported nefarious activities of corrupt APC leaders who are compromising the system to intercept and hoard the new bank notes for their selfish vote-buying plans ahead of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

“Our party is, however, saddened that the cash crunch had persisted due to the sabotage of corrupt APC leaders, including the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who are alleged to have masterminded the intercepting and hoarding of the new notes for their selfish agenda.”

The PDP stated that Nigerians are aware that Tinubu and the APC are to blame for the misery they are currently experiencing as a result of the scarcity of fresh naira notes and will deal with them in the upcoming elections.

It did, however, request that President Muhammadu Buhari take after corrupt APC leaders and system saboteurs who are allegedly conspiring with Tinubu to scoop up monies for vote-buying.

It added: “Nigerians now know the truth and hold Asiwaju Tinubu and the APC directly responsible for the anguish they have been subjected to in the face of this excruciating cash scarcity; another reason they will deal Tinubu a humiliating blow with their votes at the February presidential election.

“The PDP calls on President Buhari to protect Nigerians by going after these felonious APC leaders as well as the saboteurs in the system who are reportedly working with the APC presidential campaign to mop up cash meant for distribution to our citizens.

“Our party stands with Nigerians; the artisans, traders, drivers, “keke” and “okada” riders, labourers, food vendors, students and all hard-working citizens at this time of distress.”
