Kwankwaso: Presidential candidates are bank owners — naira notes scarcity not affecting them | TheCable
President Muhammadu Buhari has declared his support for the policy and said it would deter politicians from “mobilising resources to intimidate voters in the 2023 general election”.Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Thursday, Kwankwaso said politicians, particularly candidates in the next month’s elections, are unaffected by the policy.
“We in the NNPP are not comfortable with the three months and even the 10 days they are talking about. Many people who are in Abuja who are in the comfort of their offices or homes wouldn’t understand what is happening outside there,” Kwankwaso said.“What the government is saying has to do with people who would want to take too much money, like leaders and politicians.
“If their friends have got banks, I’m sure one or two of them may have banks or own large shares in some of these banks.
