Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to allow the old and new naira notes co-exist to ease the suffering of Nigerians.

Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who spoke to some journalists in Hausa language on Friday, said that while the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) mopped up over N2 trillion of the old notes, it printed only N300 billion, which he said is not enough.

El-Rufai, who was accompanied by his Kano counterpart, Abdullahi Ganduje, said even if the CBN had wanted to implement the cashless policy, it should have printed half of what it mopped up, for a start, which ought to be N1 trillion.

He said they told the President the masses are suffering and traders are losing their goods due to lack of patronage.

He referred to tomatoes seller that travelled to Lagos with their goods but got nothing because people had no money to buy.

The Governor said they appealed to the President to reconsider his stances.

El-Rufai however said Buhari did not tell them yes or no.

He disclosed Chairman of the Progressive Governors' Forum (PGF), Atiku Bagudu, has gone back to meet the President privately with the hope to convince him.

At of the time of filing this report, he was being awaited to address the media.

Accidental lovers of Nigerians.

President Buhari please don't listen to these charlatans. We have been suffering high inflation, unemployment, fuel scarcity and insecurity for the past 7 years and these thieves kept praising you as the best thing after jollof rice. Please we patriotic Nigerians are begging you not to heed to this demand.

I used 1k to withdraw 10k this morning and I am ready to make this sacrifice till after election as long as you don't bend to these crazy demands and sudden love of the so called APC governors.

After many years of suffering Bad leadership, if this is the price that Nigerians have to pay to get it right this time around, then I don't mind.

Buhari should be steadfast and never yield to the pleas of these politicians, until after elections.

No it will never
We love it like this
I used almost 3k to withdraw 20k this morning

No problem

I will sacrifice for my nation

Only Apc keep complaining. Yes we know they will still have their way but this policy will shake them small and reduce vote buying

And for we masses lets suffer so that we will do away with tribalism this time around and do the right thing

Heard banks are even paying people with 5, 10, 50 naira note.
I was so happy infact let them add coins to it

It's because they're all attracted naa
Normally, they don't care 💅

Yes yes, the old money will gradually fade away

Ok agreed . But that will be after the general elections

El-Rufai, who was accompanied by his Kano counterpart, Abdullahi Ganduje, said even if the CBN had wanted to implement the cashless policy, it should have printed half of what it mopped up, for a start, which ought to be N1 trillion.

Iv

Really? So you all corrupt fools can buy votes so that the old urinating vegetable of Iragbiji will succeed the dullard?

You all have failed. No vote buying and the February 10th deadline stands!

Obi we know

It's not getting funny anymore, over here you need to discuss percentage with the pos guy before he'll agree to give you money, eversince I've being in this country I've never experienced such hardship before.


And people will still vote APC

It's amazing how the current APC government now cares deeply about the masses who they pushed into poverty, and more amazing how it's only the APC the are more bothered than other contestants.

With these many fights inside banks between customers and the steady cashing out by POS operators......
These government obviously don't care about the masses one bit..

they need wipe these Nigerian leaders 2 by 2 for neck, all of them dey mad

Hahahajanah

Please don't

Buhari no go hear, but what amuses me is the fact that some people still think that this suffering is for tinubu or the politicians ahaha 😹 I laff.
Did u read the thread that a governor got 500m naira new notes? Once again I lafff at their stupidity ahahahahahahahahah😂🤣

why is only APC complaining

I talk am
See as they are begging Buhari
Tinubu sent them to go and beg

This Naira change is truly a good thing. Their rigging machines have been destroyed by Buhamefile.

Yeah

This is how it ought to be till the old notes phases out

Emefiele is either dumb or he's up to something without considering the pain and discomfort it will unleash on the masses

Please leave it as it is because some children of hate think say na Tinubu e dey affect

Buhari pepper them oh.. pepper them.. godqin emefiele pepper them oh.. pepper them .. oh


APC are the only ones crying about this hiding behind the masses.. Useless politicians.

What have they done about fuel scarcity.. oh.. that one no dey suffer the masses.

Because they have their cars and convoy filled to iverflow they dont care how people queue for days without still getting the product.

Selfish people

NB: IF I am given 1 naira for everytime the politicians say they have the masses at heart. I will be a billionaire now. Cubana will have to borrow from me.
