El-Rufai: Naira Redesign Doesn't Make Any Political Or Economic Sense


 In an interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily programme on Wednesday, Nasir El-Rufai, the Kaduna State Governor and member of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), said that some persons are hiding behind the president’s “desire to do what he thinks is right.”


“The currency redesign, you have to understand the president. People are blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for the currency redesign, but No.

“You have to go back and look at Buhari’s first outing as president.


“He did it; the Buhari-Idiagbon regime changed our currency in secret in order to catch those who were stashing illicit funds.

“It is a very good intention. The president has his rights. But doing it at this time within the allotted time does not make any political or economic sense.”
