Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has accused Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), of instituting the naira redesign policy because his presidential bid failed.
The CBN governor was linked to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential race, which he denied after a group purchased the N100 million presidential form for him.
Ganduje claimed in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service on Friday that the CBN governor does not want the elections to take place.
The meeting came just hours after Governor Nasir El-Rufai claimed that some people in Aso Rock were plotting to prevent the APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, from winning the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Ganduje, for his part, stated that they informed Buhari that redesigning the naira would be difficult.
“This is not the agenda of the APC, it is the agenda of those who surrounded the president and the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. You know he (Emefiele) wanted to be the president but he failed. That is why they don’t want the election to hold or prefer another party to win it,” he said.
On whether the governors will part ways with the president on this policy, Ganduje said, “No, we are against this policy of naira redesign by the governor of the Central Bank and those surrounded the president.”
