Two serving Senators from the ruling All Progressives Congress, Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya and Barau Jibrin; twenty members of House of Representatives; and thirty legislators from the State House of Assembly;were amongst the groups that put their weight behind the governor. Ganduje lamented, “There are no banks in most of our rural communities. How these people get new Naira notes is of great concern. Just look at what is happening in our urban areas, people go and spend hours upon hours in bank. without any assurances of getting the new notes.”
Even at Point of Sales, according to the governor, one could not transact with ease, hinting that many of them closed shops due to uncertainty. He emphasised that Kano being a commercial hub must be heard loudly, insisting, “This problem affects all of us. Therefore our voice must be heard in all nooks and crannies. We are a commercial hub. As such our position must be loud and clear.”All rights reserved.
