A group known as Arewa for Asiwaju says Bola Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), compelled the federal government to extend the deadline for the use of old naira notes.
Speaking at a rally in Abeokuta, capital city of Ogun state, last week, Tinubu said the scarcity of petrol and change of the naira’s design would not affect his chances of securing victory.“They want to disrupt it. Will you allow that? Will you vote?”
“It was this courage and purposeful leadership shown by the Asiwaju that compelled the government to go back on its earlier ‘no going back’ statement,” Pass said.“Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, it is the courageous sagacity displayed by Tinubu that invariably saved the Nigerian commoner from suffering the pains of the initial timeline set by the federal government for the unpopular new currency swap.
“Tinubu, proving himself a great statesman, in his now famous Abeokuta declaration, took the bold and necessary step of alerting on the dangers inherent in the new naira policy, its timing, and deadline.
