Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir el- Rufai has again expressed his opinion over the naira redesign policy , calling it a mistake.
In an interview on BBC Hausa on Monday, he said that the policy was introduced to make the All Progressive Congress, APC, lose in the election.
He said that some of the governors have reviewed the policy and the hardship it has put people into and the feeling of hatred Nigerians developed for the APC because Nigerians are putting the blame on the APC and the people who introduced the policy did it to make the party lose in the election.
He said that the judgement of the Supreme Court should be followed which is the old and new notes should be used until the case is over .
He questioned why the policy was not brought in sooner than now and equally asked if vote buying is only done with naira .
He also said that money cannot be taken out of politics but can be reduced.
He reiterated that they are not against the policy because of vote buying but because of the sufferings of the people.
He also said that the people who pushed for the naira redesign are not members of the APC.
He also stated that President Muhammadu Buhari has been told that governors are thieves which is why they are against the naira redesign policy.
He maintained that the president made a mistake in the naira redesign policy.
