Tinubu: Buhari Has Messed Up – Baba Ahmed Laments Over Cash Scarcity

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said that the naira redesign policy proposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and approved by President Muhammadu Buhari is a strategy to demarket the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections.

The NEF spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed stated this during an interview on on Channels Television’s programme, “The 2023 Verdict.”

Baba-Ahmed insisited that President  Buhari has made a mistake for supporting the CBN policy.

He argued that the policy was targeted at sabotaging the chances at the 2023 election.

Speaking further, he noted that various individuals including Tinubu had revealed that the redesigned naira was targeted at ruining his candidacy hence it was confusing that Buhari still claimed he was in full support of the APC flag bearer.

He said, “President Muhammadu Buhari has messed up…to have allowed this kind of fiasco to happen on the eve of election when you are actually campaigning to have your party voted for.

“This money thing is a major demarketing strategy for the APC. If the worst enemy of APC had design strategy for them to lose this election, he couldn’t have chosen a better strategy and this fiasco around this printing of naira notes.

“Their own people said it is all contrived to make Tinubu to lose. The governors even said it was designed to make the candidate lose. The candidate himself says it was designed to make him lose and President Buhari is following him around saying, “vote for him.”
