THE spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council (PDP-PCC), Daniel Bwala, has accused the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, of inciting Nigerians to oppose President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision on the naira swap policy.
Buhari announced in a nationwide broadcast on Thursday that the old N200 banknotes would stay in circulation until April 10, but the old N500 and N1,000 bills would no longer be legal tender.
In a later broadcast, El-Rufai criticized the President’s direction and urged Kaduna residents to continue spending old notes, citing a Supreme Court order that had barred the central bank from prohibiting the usage of old notes.
Bwala stated yesterday during Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict, that El-Rufai had previously breached court orders and was not in the best position to condemn Buhari for the alleged violation of a court order.
“Governor El-Rufai sat and addressed the people of Kaduna State and by extension the members of APC throughout the federation of Nigeria that they should disobey the orders of President Buhari who stands as the symbol of the sovereignty of the country.
“The El-Rufai that is inciting Nigerians to rise against the government because the government violate orders, let me tell you, as the FCT Minister, El-Rufai disobeyed all court orders and demolished houses,” Bwala alleged.
The PDP campaign spokesperson also said that the APC has never at any material time in the last eight years demonstrated their sympathy to Nigerians. He argued that their behaviour that seems “as if they care” was a belated act.
Bwala, who believes that the APC wants to create the idea that they care about Nigerians in order to get elected, called it a strategy to fool the public.
