Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has counseled the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) to be pragmatic, rather than being dogmatic in its deadline for the swap of old currency notes for new ones, saying the sufferings of Nigerians must not be overlooked.
This was as he again appealed to Nigerians to remain calm as the government and relevant agencies continue to work out solutions to both Naira and fuel scarcity.
Director, of Media and Publicity at the APC Presidential Campaign Council PCC, Bayo Onanuga, who disclosed this in an issued statement, said Tinubu made the appeal yesterday, in Abuja.
The former Lagos State governor said he is distressed by the news of cash-strapped farmers having to sell their produce excessively cheap to avoid losing all.
He assured Nigerians that the current challenges will soon be over, and pleaded that people should avoid anything capable of causing unrest in the country even when they are justifiably angry.
