2023 Nigeria Elections: Your loot now completely useless – Kwankwaso mocks APC govs

The presidential candidate of the New Nigerian People Party (NNPP), Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has called out the governors and leading members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for their criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari over naira redesign policy.

Kwankwaso says he was shocked that the APC governors could act in that manner while teasing that their loot has become useless.

“In each state, you have branches of banks and in some states, you have even the national headquarters of those banks. On one hand, we thought they (governors) would take all the billions from government houses and so on.

“But we realised these same governors were abusing their leaders, insulting them; I was shocked. I never thought some of them could abuse Buhari to that level.

“On another hand, I was surprised that facts were coming out and we began to wonder what was wrong with them. Maybe EFCC was right that some governors are keeping billions of naira in their compounds across the country.

“Now the policy has made that looted money completely useless; I think that is why they are angry. So we are so happy with the federal government on that; the money they have collected is completely zero; it has expired.

“And I think all agencies should keep their eyes on that, and I want to assure you that our party is going to assist the federal government, especially on election day. Please tell all members of NNPP to join EFCC, to join the police and other security agencies that wherever they see attempts to buy votes, please stop them,” Kwankwaso said.
