Ebunoluwa OlafusiRabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party , says the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria was a mistake.
The politician added that a lot of people will lose their savings and advised the federal government to extend the deadline.“Well, I have listened to all the leaders who are trying to defend the issue of this redesign. As far as we are concerned, those of us in NNPP, we believe that it was a mistake, especially the timing,” Kwankwaso said.
