Naira Scarcity: Even Atiku Who Has More Money Than Tinubu Has Remained Calm – Okechukwu Begs APC Governors

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Osita Okechukwu, has urged the party’s governors to remain calm amidst the naira redesign policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, (VON) reminded the governors that Atiku Abubakar who has more money than their principal, Bola Tinubu has chosen to remain calm despite the policy.

The APC stalwart made the appeal during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme on Monday.

Okechukwu, who was reacting to Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s decision to kick against the new monetary policy by  President Muhammadu Buhari administration said that the APC Governors meeting held on Sunday had put everything to rest.

Naija News recalls that the national chairman of the APC National Working Committee, Abdullahi Adamu, El-Rufai, and other governors held a meeting in Abuja on Sunday to address the crash crisis in the country.

Speaking on the outcome of the meeting, Osita said, “National chairman of our great party have had a meeting with all of them [APC governors] yesterday and they have come to a middle ground, and also, listening to Mr President in faraway Ethiopia, I agreed he is aware of the hardship and feels it and he is trying to gather all necessary indicators to get it eased.

“So let’s not go too deep. I think yesterday’s meeting, which distinguished Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of our party, conveyed, had put that to rest because far back in the United Nations General Assembly, Mr President had insisted that he wants to bequeath to Nigeria a legacy of a free and fair election.

“My only appeal to my governors is that nobody has more money for this election than Atiku Abubakar, but luckily, he has managed to keep calm, so if you are talking about money, I don’t think his Excellency Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has more money than Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
