Ahmad Hamisu Gwale-Abuja
Abdulsalam Zaura, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has attributed the poor performance of the party in Kano during the 2023 elections, to the naira redesign policy.
The Independent Mirror reported that Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Zaura said the economic hardship that accompanied the policy turned many voters against the party.
Zaura, who contested the Kano central senatorial seat on the APC platform, said the party would have won the governorship and presidential election in the state if not for the naira redesign policy.
“As a party in power, there are certain things you cannot do to people when you are approaching such period of elections,” he said.
“For example, it was at the same period that we were approaching the election barely three weeks that they defaced the naira.
Zaura added that The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) changed the colour of naira and there was no availability of the new notes
