June 12 Elements Are At It Again- Ganduje Reacts To Court Ruling Stoping Extension Of CBN Deadline 

The conspiracy against the extension of deadline for the old naira note has been attributed to the elements of June 12 1993 working to scuttle the forthcoming presidential election and undermine Nigeria’s democracy.

This view was restated by Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje on Tuesday. 

The governor who made it known in a statement issued by his commissioner for information, Muhammad Garba was reacting to the interim court order that stopped the Central Bank of Nigeria from extending the February 10 deadline for the currency swap.

The Federal High Court in Abuja had on Tuesday ruled that February 10 deadline for the currency swap should not be extended by the CBN.

Reacting to the decision, Governor Ganduje said: 

“June 12 elements are at it again.”

He revealed that the elements from the annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election are regrouping and are using the current crisis generated by the naira redesign policy to undermine Nigeria’s democracy.

He claimed that these individuals are disguising themselves as unknown political parties and working with the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), to impose an unfeasible cash policy that is affecting the mass.

He noted that the insistence by the CBN on the implementation of the policy, even in the absence of necessary technological infrastructure, is an ominous sign for the nation and could hinder smooth elections.
