The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has alleged that the hoarding of the Redesigned Naira notes by the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, is causing Nigerians unimaginable pains.
The spokesperson of the campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan in a statement issued on Tuesday, said the APC Campaign Council was desperate to mop up new Naira notes, by swapping them with their “ill-gotten” old notes, stashed away in secret vaults.
He said having been rejected by Nigerians, the ruling party had relied solely on vote-buying, financial inducements and heavy bribing, to compromise and derail the electoral process.
The PDP campaign team said it was disturbed by the harrowing experiences being faced by Nigerians, who are at the receiving end of the Tinubu Campaign-induced cash scarcity, ravaging our nation at this time.

Ologbondiyan said: “Our campaign is alarmed by the exposed plot by Tinubu Campaign and some APC Governors to secretly swap a whooping N22.5 billion in old N1,000 new notes in Kano, as well as Lagos State, where they will be warehoused for vote buying for the deflated Tinubu campaign.
“More disgusting is that the Tinubu Campaign has disgracefully resorted to hypocritical propaganda, shedding of crocodile tears, pointing accusing fingers at others, and posturing as champions of the people, when they are the real enemies of Nigerians.”
The main opposition party called on Tinubu to lift his knees from the neck of Nigerians by ending his new Naira notes hoarding activities so that the new notes can freely flow to Nigerians to run their daily lives.
Ologbondiyan noted that the PDP campaign stands with Nigerians in calling on Tinubu and his co-travellers in the APC to end the criminal activities of intercepting and hoarding the new notes, for their vote-buying plots, not minding the excruciating hardship of their sinister action is causing millions of Nigerians across the country.
