Several Kaduna residents who queued in different bank ATMs since early morning on Wednesday, but could not withdraw a dime by 5 pm told DAILY POST they
would not vote for any political candidate in this year’s election if the scarcity of fuel and the new currency continues.
A man who identified himself as Mallam Abubakar said: “I came to this ATM at 6 am this morning, thinking as soon as they resume by 8 am, at most 10 am, I will get my money. We were here [since] with the promise that the bank would load cash by 3 pm, [but] nothing till now.”Another respondent, Moses James, said: “We were praying that bandits attack should stop. As security operatives try to calm all forms of attack, it’s now fuel scarcity and new currency.
Mrs Agnes Paul, a businesswoman, expressed sadness over the whole issue. “I have little savings in the bank, but could not withdraw now. They meant I should continue to suffer like this, and during the election, I will suffer myself [again by] going out to vote?” she said. Grace Ojonigo, who expressed disappointment over the hardship, said the ruling government has set a bad precedent.
