2023: We Are Not Surprised – Tinubu Speaks On Mopping Up New Naira Notes For Vote Buying

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Bola Tinubu has rubbished claims that he is hoarding new naira notes ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

The APC flag bearer stated this while reacting to an allegation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claiming that he was stock piling new naira notes for vote-buying.

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mahmud Jega, the APC flag bearer insisted that the claims were false and made up by the PDP.

The ruling party alleged that the PDP had realized that Atiku Abubakar’s attitude had created anger and resentment against him, hence he was trying to come up with a false claim against Tinubu.

A statement by Jega reads: “We are not surprised that the PDP made a volte-face to conjure a completely unfounded allegation against Tinubu.

“Having realized that Atiku’s selfish, uncaring position has generated popular anger and resentment against him, it came up with this absurd claim that our candidate is mopping up new currency notes.

We want to assure Nigerians that claim is utterly false.”

The statement said Tinubu was speaking for the voiceless in his campaigns by calling for the extension of the naira swap deadline.
