The Presidential Campaign Council of the Labour Party (LP) has criticised the flagbearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for opposing the redesign of the naira by the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN).
Recall that Tinubu and his campaign council had said the scarcity of naira notes due to the implementation of the policy and the scarcity of fuel endanger the general elections.
But, a special adviser to Peter Obi on Public Affairs, Katch Ononuju, said the policy has nothing to do with politics.
Ononuju, who spoke on Africa Independent Television on Tuesday said the policy will help in tracking politicians doing money laundering.
He also said revenue generated from the cashless policy will help the government to run governance without borrowing.
The LP chieftain said the cashless policy is the best for addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges as it will enable the government to monitor financial activities.
